Maine treats motorized scooters like bicycles under 29-A §2063—stay under 20 mph, use lights/reflectors after dark, and obey bike-right-of-way rules—while §1254 requires any class of driver license and §2089 keeps low-speed vehicles on streets posted 35 mph or below.
Detailed Information
Title 29-A, §2063 covers both bicycles and motorized scooters, so riders must keep as far right as practicable, yield with audible signals when passing, and run the required front white light plus rear red light/reflector from sunset to sunrise (§2084). Subsection 6 caps scooter speed at 20 mph, and §1254 says they may only be operated by someone who holds a Maine driver license, permit, or motorcycle endorsement. Finally, §2089 limits all low-speed vehicles—including plated mopeds and scooters—to highways posted 35 mph or less except to cross at an intersection, which is why statewide guidance keeps scooters off the Maine Turnpike and other faster arterials.
