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!
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.
