Are Electric Scooters Legal in New Orleans?

Updated on December 1st, 2023

New Orleans has set forth specific regulations for electric scooters after initiating a Shared Mobility Device Pilot Program. Operators are required to follow designated parking guidelines, and the city has implemented no-ride zones. Scooters must be parked upright on hard surfaces in the furniture zone of sidewalks and must not impede pedestrian traffic or access to the street. It is important to note that different rules may apply to personal electric scooters in contrast to those provided by scooter-sharing services.

Reference Link

Currently no city specific ordinances exist. In this case the state laws currently in place offer the best reference to legality.

Max Speed

15 mph

Minimum Age

18 for scooter-sharing services, however, younger individuals may operate personal electric scooters if state law allows and with parental supervision.

Helmets Required? 

No, but recommended for all ages and required for riders under 18 as per Louisiana state law.
