Im just wondering, i just want one so i can go to my friends house without having my mom/dad drive me.
would i need to get something less powerful, but my neighborhood is very hilly so i don't want to get an electric scooter, there are a couple of cops one my street so should i ask them first if i am able to?
oh and if you could find one on like criagslist or ebay (buy it now only) for under $270 that would be great.

The California Vehicle Code does not require registration, license plates to be displayed or the scooter to be insured....
Even though insurance is not required, owners of these scooters should contact their insurance company to determine if coverage is available.
An operator of a motorized scooter must be at least 16 years old, possess a valid drivers license or instruction permit, and wear a helmet.
A motorized scooter may be operated on a bicycle path, trail or bikeway, but not on a sidewalk. On the roadway, it must be operated in the bicycle lane, if there is one. On roads without bicycle lanes, motorized scooters may operate where the speed limit is 25 mph or less, and shall be ridden as close to the right hand curb as possible, except to pass or turn left.

Are there any laws against riding kick scooters on sidewalks or streets in California? Is a helmet required?

Answer
By "kick scooter" I take it you mean a nonmotorized scooter. Whether they could be operated on the sidewalk would be a matter for local regulation (city or county). It is not true that bicycles can never be ridden on the sidewalk--some cities (e.g. Los Angeles) permit it if done safely. It would appear that nonmotorized scooters can lawfully be ridden in the street, since Veh C 21212 says that a person under 18 must wear a helmet when riding a nonmotorized scooter upon a street, bikeway, or trail. Whether a helmet would be required on the sidewalk would, again, be a matter for local regulation.
