Motorized scooter/micromobility violation
Florida Statute § 316.2128
Summary verified against the 2026 Florida Statutes: October 1, 2026.
Quick Summary
Motorized scooters and micromobility devices generally follow bicycle rules, except provisions that cannot apply to their seating/child-carrier design. Local ordinances may regulate where they operate and impose age or government-photo-ID requirements. These devices do not require a driver license, motor-vehicle registration, or insurance under the cited exemptions. Identify the actual bicycle-rule or valid local-rule violation and device class; do not cite ordinary unlicensed driving solely because a scooter has a motor. Miniature motorcycles have distinct restrictions.
