The ones you stand on that go slowly? Our rules say you have to be 16 years or older and I was wrong, bike lanes are allowed, rules same as bicycle even though it’s motorized. Bike lane or road, stop at lights like a car, don’t ride on the line between cars.
In practice, I don’t think people are actually getting ticketed for riding them on the sidewalk, and I don’t really care either as long as they don’t run me over. If you cause a car accident because you were on the sidewalk moving faster than a jogger then you would be at fault. Like a bike, sidewalk can be a dangerous place if you aren’t moving slowly.
