The Huron County OPP are reminding the public about the rules for battery-powered scooters, also known as e-scooters. Police have recently seen more people, including children under 16, riding these scooters in local communities.
E-scooters are becoming more popular, especially with young people. They are affordable, easy to carry, and fun to ride. However, many people are not aware of the laws that apply to using them.
In Ontario, each town or city can make its own rules about where e-scooters can be used. Most towns do not allow them on public roads. In general, e-scooters are only allowed on private property, unless local by-laws say otherwise.
