Electric Scooters Are Now Legal in New York City

         

New York State officially legalized electric scooters in August 2020, opening up a new era of urban commuting for New Yorkers. Here's what you need to know to ride legally and confidently.

         
            ✅ NYC E-Scooter Law — Key Rules at a Glance             Riders must be 16 or older, helmets are required under 18 (strongly recommended for all), stay in bike lanes or the road, max speed of 15 mph, and no riding on sidewalks.          
         
               
  •                             Legal in all five boroughs — The NYC Department of Transportation allows personal e-scooter use city-wide on roads and protected bike lanes.            
    •            
  •                             No license or registration required — Personal e-scooters with a max speed of 25 mph do not require a license plate or registration in New York State.            
    •            
  •                             15 mph street limit — Ride confidently on NYC streets within the legal speed limit. All INOKIM models offer speed mode adjustments.            
    •            
  •                             Subways & transit friendly — Foldable INOKIM scooters (Light 2, Quick 4) are compact enough to carry on NYC subway cars during permitted hours.

What Is UL 2272 Certification — And Why It Matters in NYC

       

New York City has seen thousands of fires caused by low-quality, uncertified e-scooter and e-bike batteries. UL 2272 certification is the industry's highest electrical safety standard — and INOKIM scooters meet it.

     
     
        ⚠️ NYC Fire Department Warning         The FDNY warns that non-certified lithium battery devices are among the fastest-growing causes of apartment fires in NYC. Always choose UL-certified scooters and chargers.      
     
       
         
🔋
         
Battery Safety Testing
         
UL 2272 requires rigorous testing of the battery pack for overheating, overcharging, short circuit protection, and thermal runaway prevention.
       
       
         
⚡
         
Electrical System Integrity
         
Every circuit, connector, and wire harness is evaluated for shock, fire, and water exposure risks under real-world conditions.
       
       
         
🔌
         
Charger Certification
         
The charger unit is separately tested. Always use the official INOKIM charger — third-party chargers void safety compliance and increase fire risk.
       
       
         
🏡
         
Safe for NYC Apartments
         
Many NYC building landlords and co-ops now specifically require UL-certified devices for indoor charging. INOKIM scooters qualify.
       
       
         
🛡️
         
Independently Verified
         
UL (Underwriters Laboratories) is an independent, third-party safety certification body with over 100 years of testing authority. It is not a self-certification.
       
       
         
✅
         
NYC Building Compliance
         
Proposed and enacted NYC legislation increasingly mandates UL-certified micro-mobility devices for residential charging. Stay compliant with INOKIM.
