Not the law in BC, where this happened e scooters are also not legal to be ridden on roads or sidewalks.

Wait, seriously? So you can't use an e-scooter at all for transportation around a city?

It sounds like they started a pilot project last year, and in a number of cities, it is now permitted:

Honestly, I'm still surprised, though. Huh.

    In Calgary personal e-scooters can only be used on the pathway system. Only rental e-scooters can be used on sidewalks as well as pathways. So you technically have to carry or push your personal e-scooter from your private property to the nearest pathway. Glad I went the pedal assist e-bike route.
