Does anyone know the age requirement for a scooter? Do I have to get a special license? Im thinking of getting one from www.megapowersports.com
and Im not sure what I need to get? Can I get one for my daughter also who is 14 or do you have to be at least 16 and have a permit??
Answer
Hello emmiegsmom
You could use a limited speed (32 km/hr maximum) electric scooter without licence or insurance because it is classified as a power assisted bicycle. Or you can drive a limited speed electric motorcycle (70 km/hr maximum) with a regular licence and insurance. But, I believe your daughter has to be 16 to drive any powered vehicle.
This is information from the best electric scooters and motorcycles I could find locally when I went shopping for myself. If you read the info. I have included here you will see why I chose an electric vehicle.
I took this from the web site of a shop in Vancouver, but their scooters are carried by Scooter Underground in Victoria as well:
What are the advantages of having an electric scooter?
a) Freedom - it is classified as a bicycle and as such can benefit from all the freedom you have riding a regular bike.
b) Economical â donât pay for parking, insurance, driverâs license, gas, maintenance, pennies to charge. If used as a substitute for a car it pays off in 4 months.
c) Safer than a bike â the scooters look like, and have all the safety features of, a gas motorcycle. From our customerâs experience, car drivers pay scooter riders more respect than if they ride a regular bicycle.
d) Quiet â no engine or transmission noise. It is literally noiseless. (I believe this applies to the brushless motors only, which is what these people make)
e) Environmental â it is greener than using a bus. Utilizes the idle night energy when you charge it. Batteries are recycled and there is no emission;
f) A lot of fun â you will believe when you try it.
Who would benefit from an electric scooter?
a) People who want to avoid heavy traffic. Since our MOTORINO⢠scooters are classified by Transport Canada as Power Assisted Bicycles they travel beside the traffic or anywhere where regular bicycles are used.
b) People who work in the city and are tired of looking for, or paying for, parking. All MOTORINO⢠scooters can be legally parked on the sidewalk and have security antitheft features.
c) Daily commuters traveling up to 60-70 km on flat roads or 30-40 on hills. The high torque motor provides enough power to handle 15 degrees hills;
d) Commuters who hate to get wet in rainy weather. The specially designed for MOTORINO⢠scooters rain cape which is included with the scooter, and the visor helmet, protect the rider completely in rain.
I hope that is helpful
