Question:

Can I operate a motorized skateboard at age 14?



Answer:

Motorized skateboard use is covered by city laws. In general, city laws require motorized skateboard riders to be at least 14 years old, follow traffic signs and rules and wear a helmet while riding it. See a sample of motorized skateboard laws in the laws section of this website. To be sure, check with your local police department to find out about laws concerning motorized skateboards in your community.

i think you should be able to ride Gopeds® at 13. you're considered a teenager and I think that should be good enough age reason. I actually have a question too. Can anyone tell me what the law on Gopeds® is in Tucson, arizona?
