Motorized scooters and skateboards

Electric kick scooters and motorized skateboards

Rules for using electric kick scooters

Electric kick scooters, also known as e-scooters, are becoming a more common way to get around in B.C. communities. Did you know that only about 20% of B.C.'s municipalities allow e-scooters on their roads?

Refer to the electric kick scooter pilot project or contact your local government for more information.

Rules for using motorized skateboards

Electric skateboards, hoverboards and other self-balancing micromobility cannot be operated on public roads, sidewalks, or bike lanes in B.C.

B.C.'s Motor Vehicle Act defines these vehicle types as motor vehicles, but they do not meet provincial equipment safety standards for on-road use.
