Summary

Electric scooters in Maine require a valid driver's license or learner's permit (any class). Helmet required for riders under 18. Max speed 20 mph. Can ride on roads with speed limits of 35 mph or less. Prohibited on sidewalks and limited-access highways.

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.
