As part of its efforts to enact stricter enforcement of existing regulations of micromobility devices, Hughesville Borough has posted a state Department of Transportation fact sheet outlining various modes of transportation.

Electronic scooters, including electronic skateboards and unicycles can only be operated on private property, and cannot be legally operated on public roadways, according to the fact sheet.

Motorized pedalcycles require a class C driver’s license for operation and must be designed not exceed speeds of 25 mph, while motor scooters require a class M license if the scooter exceeds 50 cc, and a class C if it is below 50 cc, and may not exceed speeds of five brake horsepower.

Motorized pedalcycles and motor scooters must be registered and each requires the operator to carry insurance. Passengers are allowed for each, and riders under the age of 21 are required to wear helmets, the fact sheet said.

Both devices are prohibited from being driven on sidewalks, and are subject to lighting requirements.

Segways, personal assistive mobility devices, require the operator to wear a helmet if under the age of 12 and for lighting to be used between sunset and sunrise. They are generally allowed for use on sidewalks, unless specifically prohibited by municipality order.

Electronic or e-bikes, defined as having operable pedals with electric assist from a motor of no more than 750 watts, and capable of going 20 mph on a flat surface when powered by motor alone.

Those operating e-bikes may carry passengers, are required to utilize lighting between sunset and sunrise, and are permissible for sidewalk use, except within business districts.

Bicycles are solely-moved by human-powered pedals, and require the use of a helmet by operators and passengers under the age of 12, with the same lighting requirements as Segways and e-bikes, according to the fact sheet.

They may also be utilized on sidewalks, as long as not operated in a business district.

E-bikes and bicycles are also approved for usage in designated bike lanes.

Those operating any of the above methods of transportation while under the influence of alcohol or other controlled substances are subject to all applicable DUI laws.
