 Electric Scooters 

  • It has been brought to our attention that electric kick scooters should not be used by students travelling to school or while on the school grounds. 
  • Despite their popularity in our province, electric kick scooters remain illegal for use on public roads, bike lanes and sidewalks across most of B.C., except in a handful of cities that are taking part in a pilot program to test the use of them. The City of Delta is not part of the pilot program. Even in the pilot program cities, it is illegal for a person under 16 years of age to operate an electric kick scooter.
