Mobility scooters are not meant for riding on streets or roads that see a lot of traffic. They are legal to ride on pedestrian walks with a maximum speed of 4 miles per hour. This is to ensure that the rider and other pedestrians remain safe.  Also, for any disability scooter to legally operate on a road, it must have head and tail lights, indicators, and a maximum speed range of 6 to 8 miles per hour. Riders must not be under alcohol influence while riding the disability scooter, or they can be fined as per the motor law.
