The licensing requirements for electric scooters vary depending on factors such as the scooter's power, speed, and your location. In most states, you don't need a driver’s license, but some areas may require a moped or motorcycle license for higher-speed models. Age restrictions often apply, with many places setting the minimum age at 16, though youth permits may be available for younger riders. Helmets are usually mandatory for safety, and while registration and insurance aren't always required, they are recommended for added protection. Always check local laws to ensure you're in compliance with the regulations.
