Answer
That is cool! Good for him. Gas or electric?
I have built a few with lawn mower engines and Mongoose kick scooters. They are a blast.


I do not know about Canada, but in California any motorized scooter (has to have a scooter kick plate....place to stand up) that does not exceed 15mph may be ridden in the bike lane without a license.

If anyone knows anything about electric scooters can u HELP me?

Hi, I'm from Canada, Alberta, Calgary and was wondering if there are any places that sell electric scooters near my area or ship to my area. What bikes are legal to ride on the sidewalks or streets of calgary? Is this a good model 600 Watt Comp Electric Scooter

Answer
You will find that in most places it is not legal to ride motorized vehicles on sidewalks. This would include an electric motorized vehicle.

The real question is weather it is enforced and how safe is it to do so? Is it being inconsiderate of pedestrians trying to use the sidewalk? Someday we may finally realize that there are lots of ways of traveling and not just walking or riding a car.

While there may not be so many places that you might get one from a shop nearby, you should easily be able to shop and get one on the web. This is a site below for an example.
