Question

Is it legal to ride motorized scooters in los angeles?

Answer 1

California has strict emissions standards which make 99% of all gas scooters and gas powered pocket bikes illegal for sale or use in this state for purposes other than closed course competition. In addition to all other local and state usage laws and regulations, the gas scooter or pocket bike must comply with California C.A.R.B. Tier 2 exhaust emissions standards.

If you live in California, please be aware of this law when selecting a gas powered scooter or pocket bike for purchase. If you live outside of California you may want to purchase a California emissions compliant gas scooter or pocket bike for other reasons. They're cleaner (less polluting) and not as noisy as non-compliant gas scooters and pocket bikes.

Answer 2

i think no because i heard you need to have a license to have one of those scooters
