I live in America, it depends entirely what city you live in for us, for instance I live in Tucson AZ, here it's based on weight for scooters, if they're over 75lbs they're supposed to be insured, but no one is out here weighing them so I ride my 115lb K8 everywhere and no one bats an eye, hell I raced a police officer the other day, no helmet or squat, doing 50mph in the bike lane, even forgot to reset my blinker so I was falsely signalling the whole time too, the cop just went on his merry way when I pulled into work, the only people here that don't like my scooter are old people that try to gatekeep bike trails or stores, I ignore them entirely and take it wherever I please 🤷
It's interesting to hear about the variations in regulations across different cities and countries. It seems like as long as you're riding "normally", you're able to enjoy cruising without much interference. Keep enjoying the ride and stay safe out there! 🛴👍
A lot of "group riders" from the U.S. post on TH-cam. The problem is they often run red lights and stop signs. When *EVERY* other vehicle in traffic is waiting at a red light, the group riders go right through like it's not even there. Insurance companies and municipalities see this and it's only a matter of time before more restrictions start coming down. I can see insurance companies licking their greedy chops lobbying for insurance requirements.
it also depends on the state in which you live in as but most cities don't really enforce stupid rules for electric scooters I live in Massachusetts where by law even if you have a low speed scooter you need at least a "learner's permit" in order to operate them
Depending on the city, county and state, there may be restrictions on age, power, location (sidewalk/street/park/trail), and parking for scooters. Currently where I live, California, San Francisco, there are a lot of people riding scooters with two wheels and the uniwheel form, of which I believe the only requirements for someone over 18 is that they can't ride on the sidewalk, must park it at a bike parking area (which is hard to lock a scooter), and possibly wearing a helmet but it's not required. I travel to the state capital suburbs and have had no problem riding on the bike/walking/hiking trails that are specifically built as the non-automobile highway for people to get around town. Sometimes you do have to shift to a sidewalk, but keep in mind these sidewalks are winding meandering 10 foot wide sidewalks through a park like setting between suburban development communities. Even kids were riding their own scooters both kick and electric along the 3 miles I took the path one day. It literally put a smile on my face to be zooming along safely on the separated path from downtown to my other home in that area.
You guys don't know how lucky you are in that country. In Germany we are only allowed to go on the street or bike lanes, max speed of 20 kph (in all public spaces), max power of 500W. That's it, no tiers, no nothing. Be grateful guys...
Our local police force (Kent) have occasionally seized electric scooters, but usually only as part of a crack down. The trouble is electric scooters fall into a bit of a grey area in UK law. All vehicles (motorised & unmotorised) must conform to legalisation, however electric scooters haven't got any yet. Without specific legalisation they're basically defined as motorised vehicles which then require insurance. Unfortunately the government is basically doing nothing about it, apart from muddying the waters by allowing you to use hired ones in certain places which are insured, but you can't insure you own ones. It would be better if they either made them outright illegal or gave them defined rules like cycles, electric assisted bikes and mobility scooters.
Dėl dvirtakių blokavimo automobiliais - pikta, bet kalti ne vairuotojai, o tokių gatvių architektai. Deja, pas mus niekur nesistengia atitraukti taką nuo važiuojamosios dalies, todėl normali automobilio sustojimo vieta prie išvažiavimo visada yra būtent ant tako. Lygiai dėl tos pačios priežasties tiek daug avarijų nutinka kai vairuotojai įsuka į įvažiavimus - tiesiog atliekant manevrą sunku pastebėti aklojoje zonoje esančius dviratininkus ar paspirtukininkus. Jei takai būtų atitraukti nuo gatvės - įsukęs vairuotojas pastebėtų ir dar turėtų erdvės stabdymui jei reikia... Bet net visiškai naujai tvarkomose gatvėse tai nenumatyta (matyt kol nėra tokio reikalavimo, tai ir nedaro).
@@ElectricRiders People have to take tests, be over a certain age and be licensed to ride a motorbike and motorbikes have proper steering, a clutch, gears and brakes, non of which apply to these things, you are talking like an idiot.
@@ElectricRidersyes it sucks.The only good Thing is that the peak Power is not restricted.Quality 500W Motors here go up to 1600W peak and have a lot more Torque like cheap 1000W Chinese Motors.
try living in UK. Only government bought rental scooters are legal anywhere. Even ebikes are limited to 250w, and installing a throttle technically can earn you cuffs.

Sounds amazing! Hopefully this joy that you have will not be legally finished in few years :)
I thought theu changed the limit to 750watt

I feel your pain, brother 😎😏👌🛴
6:24 now that will never look cool.
Referring to scooters with seats? Or riding ~60-70 km/h without helmet? :)
Hahaahsa
No scooters allowed in the Uk but the police don’t often check unless they’re bored
That does sound frustrating.. It's a shame regulations can sometimes limit the fun. Have you ever had any close encounters with the police though?

Happy i live in USA don't need insurance or license yay for Snoopy
@@snoopysrc enjoy while it lasts, brother 👌😎🛴
Didn’t know being gay was so complex🤷🏻♂️
You would know 👌
come on where is front light and rear light?
Oh yeah, there's that as well 😉👌😎
Sounds like in United Kingdom there very strict
@@snoopysrc yes it's really over the edge in uk 😒
There’s a rules in EU and rules in Lithuania, where it’s so hard to find any sense so often.. I’m so glad I’m far away from this crazy police country.
Rules are similar in all EU countries though and such countries as Germany or UK has it even worse. Just saying ;)
I’m from Lithuania, lived in UK for 15 years and now living in western EU country, far from Lithuanian nonsense. Just saying
Apart from this scooter rule, life is awesome in Lithuania 👌😁
I’m glad that’s the case for you! However, not in my personal experience though.
😁 in Estonia only : 1000 vatt/25 km/ h😁😁😁
What happens to all more powerfull models? :)
They've never been and still aren't legal in the UK.
That's sad 😏
@@ElectricRiders I disagree, they're extremely dangerous.
@@altvamp motorcycles are even more dangerous. It's not illegal though. Riding without brain - that's dangerous. Vehicle - is totally optional imho 👌😎
@@ElectricRiders People have to take tests, be over a certain age and be licensed to ride a motorbike and motorbikes have proper steering, a clutch, gears and brakes, non of which apply to these things, you are talking like an idiot.
Stay safe, be wise ;)
New laws coming this coming Monday too that prohibits anyone under 16 riding them.
Which country is that?
@@ElectricRiders UK
@@Fox-in-the-north that's sad 😔
Be Happy you dont live in Germany.Max legal 22kmh,500W nominal Power.,insurance and licenese plate
