E-Scooters

The City of Regina is introducing e-scooters to Regina! E-scooters are a fun, sustainable way for residents and visitors to get around our city.

The use of personal e-scooters is now permitted as of April 26, 2023.

A shared e-scooter program will be implemented in July, as another step to introduce this new mode of transportation to the city. Shared e-scooters will be available to rent through a vendor’s app once in place. Information on rental locations, cost and areas permitted to ride will be available when the shared program launches this summer. The success of the program will see e-scooters being a viable, long-term transportation solution for residents. Watch for further updates.

The City reminds everyone to share roads and pathways, be aware of your surroundings, and scoot safe!


Provincial Legislation and Regulations


On September 22, 2022, SGI announced provincial regulations for the use of electric kick scooters (e-scooters) in Saskatchewan through the Limited Speed Motor Vehicle Regulations. Through these regulations, municipalities must amend their bylaws to allow e-scooters to operate. All users must ensure that the operation of e-scooter devices meet all provincial legislation and regulations found within the Traffic Safety Act, and The Limited Speed Motor Vehicle Regulations.

You must be 16 years or older to ride an e-scooter, and helmets are mandatory for all riders.

Under provincial regulations, an e-scooter is a vehicle that contains:

  • An electric motor of 500 W or less;

  • A braking system;

  • Steering handlebar;

  • A maximum speed capability of 24 km/h on a level surface;

  • A maximum weight of 45 kg or less;

  • A platform for standing; and

  • A bell or horn.

  • How are you regulating the hit and run identification or speeding through school zones. Visual cues such as licence plates similar to bikes but much bigger. Insurance? All bylaws which need to be addressed and not just by the Province.

    Hello, thank you for your inquiry.

    Enforcement of e-scooter violations are carried out by the Regina Police Service. Non compliance to City Bylaws or the Province's Traffic Safety Act can be subject to enforcement at their discretion.

  • My question is: If e-scooters are going on walking pathways at 15km/hr. , we as seniors that walk almost daily in our local park feel that some young riders will be going quite fast and are worried about our safety on these pathways. We do not agree that these scooters should be not be on walking paths as one likely can’t even hear them coming up behind you. These could cause collisions for many walkers and children on regular small bikes! Do not agree with these changes and the City of Regina should stop some of these changes in our local neighbourhood parks that we see many, many persons walking in every day! If they can’t be on sidewalks, why are they allowed on our park pathways, where many people walk. Other cities have clawed back some these rules already, does our City not look at history of these scooters in other cities? L Hall

    Hello, thank you for your feedback.

    Slow down areas of 15 km/hr are implemented for pathways to ensure that e-scooters can safely share the space with pedestrians, cyclists, and other modes of active transportation. A reduced speed of 15 km/hr is consistent with municipalities such as Saskatoon and Calgary, where slow down areas are also utilized for trails and pathways. We will be considering this slow down speed as part of our evaluation in late 2023, which also includes a public survey component for residents to provide feedback on their experience with e-scooters this year. 

    We appreciate your feedback and will take your concerns into consideration for further improvements to the program.
