The City of Rohnert Park is cracking down on unlicensed riders of motorized scooters. Press Democrat reports that they have issued over 20 warnings to minors riding electric scooters without a license in recent months as part of a campaign. Despite their appearance, the state vehicle code requires riders to have a learner’s permit or driver’s license to operate. They are also reminding riders of motorized scooters under the age of 18 must wear a helmet. They also remind you not to go over 15 MPH and scooters must be ridden in the bike lane, not on the sidewalk, and go in the direction of vehicle traffic.
