Are young teens aloud to drive electric scooters on the sidewalks in CA?

Question

I really want like a moped or electric scooter, vintage looking, to drive me and my friends places close to my house. Are there any scooters where that's available? I didn't like the razor pocket mopeds or anything, I want something bigger than that, but not full sized. Websites would be EXCELLENT!!!! P.S. I'm only 13

Answer 1

Motorized vehicles aren't allowed on sidewalks in california. To ride it on in the bike lane/on the street you would need to be 16 and have a license. But if you are just driving around in a small neighborhood you should be fine i doubt the cops will hassle you.
