Indianapolis Scooter Laws
In the state of Indiana, you must be 18 years of age or older and have a valid driver’s license in order to rent an electric scooter. E-scooters should not be ridden on sidewalks or trails, including the Indianapolis Cultural Trail. The city of Indianapolis also advises riders to avoid controlling animals while operating an e-scooter. All riders must wear a helmet and follow all traffic laws whenever using an electric scooter.
Common Causes of Electric Scooter Accidents
- Road Hazards: Debris in the road, potholes, gravel, and uneven surfaces can all cause a scooter operator to lose control.
- Lack of Visibility: Electric scooters are much smaller than other vehicles, which means it’s more difficult for drivers to see them when making turns or changing lanes.
- Reckless Behavior: Not wearing a helmet or operating a scooter under the influence of drugs or alcohol are both common examples of reckless behavior that can cause a serious accident.
- Panic Stop: When an e-scooter rider is forced to suddenly hit the brakes, it can cause the front wheel to lock. This often results in the rider being thrown from the scooter.
