What Is Considered An Electric Scooter In Queens?
Under New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law Section 114-e, an electric scooter is a device with handlebars and a floorboard or seat that an operator can stand or sit on, powered by an electric motor with or without human power. State law caps the maximum speed at 20 miles per hour on level ground when powered solely by the motor. These rules apply to personal devices and app-based shared scooters like Lime and Veo.
What Are Common Causes Of E-Scooter Accidents In Queens?
E-scooter accidents in Queens happen for many reasons. Common causes include:
- Distracted drivers: Motorists who fail to see or yield to scooter riders in traffic
- Dooring: Car doors that open directly into a rider’s path
- Defective equipment: Faulty brakes, worn tires or malfunctioning shared scooter systems
- Poor road conditions: Potholes or uneven pavement that cause riders to lose control
- Reckless driving: Speeding or failure to stop for scooter riders
If any of these factors played a role in your micro-mobility accident, you may have a valid claim.
