Are Electric Scooters Legal in Utah?

Utah DMV guidance (Utah Code §41-6a-1115.5) allows motor-assisted scooters on streets, bike lanes, and shared-use paths where bicycles are permitted, but bans them from limited-access highways or any facility that already prohibits bikes. Operating speed is capped at 15 mph, scooters may not carry passengers or be modified to exceed factory specifications, and under-8 riders may not use the throttle on public property while riders aged 8 to 15 must be under the direct supervision of a parent, guardian, or responsible adult. Helmets are strongly encouraged, and while no license, title, or insurance is required, operators still must obey bicycle traffic rules and yield to pedestrians.
