They will not only vary state to state, but vary in different communities as well. The laws in all jurisdictions include helmets are mandatory and rarely, if ever, are electric scooters allowed on sidewalks. Sidewalks are for pedestrians exclusively.

To be sure of the most current regulations in your community check with your local DMV.

Some older kids have them in my area, and they were riding them on a sidewalk. They almost ran over a little kid.
