Mobility Scooter State Regulations Information
For the purposes of government regulation, mobility scooters, powerchairs and electric wheelchairs are treated as ‘pedestrians’ and as such, a user of these forms of transport needs to observe the relevant laws for pedestrians, in whichever state they drive.
Although the key requirements are listed below, you are always advised to check with the relevant government authority in your state to ensure you are fully informed of the road rules. For simplification, the term ‘scooter’ is used and includes ‘powerchair’ and ‘electric wheelchair’.
