E-scooters are everywhere in Pa.; this legislation would make them legal
E-scooters are currently illegal in Pennsylvania despite widespread use, but proposed legislation (House Bill 1633) aims to legalize and regulate them based on a successful Pittsburgh pilot program. The bill would allow cities to establish e-scooter programs with specific rules, including age and speed limits, while excluding Philadelphia at the city's request.
