Are there any electric vehicles that don't require a driver's license?

My mother, who is legally blind, wants a vehicle that she can drive, but that doesn't qualify as an automobile. She also won't consider garden tractors, golf carts or something similar. We've seen several electric cars out, but they all qualify as automobiles. Any ideas?


Answer
Try a mobility scooter

Most places in the world they need to be registered, but is a concessional registration (virtually free). There is no licence required.

Depending on the degree of visual impairment, another option could be a motorised bicycle or trike.(upright or recumbent.) Examples here

These are capable of quite high speeds (particularly recumbents) , but can be ridden slowly, within her limits.

Commonly an electric motor and a speed restriction are required to ensure they are considered the same as a bicycle. You will need to check your traffic act to see what restrictions apply to you.

Can you replace the cells in an nimh battery for a giant bicycle?
