Officers explain e-scooter speed and sidewalk limits

Officers described typical e-scooters (speeds capped at 20 mph) as micromobility devices that may be operated on roads posted 35 mph or less. They also said e-scooters can be permitted on sidewalks only if traveling at 7 miles per hour or less, and cautioned that depending on wattage and speed capabilities some devices may instead be legally categorized as mopeds or motorcycles.
