§ 21224 Motorized Scooter Exemptions
This law says that motorized scooters don't need to follow the same rules as cars for things like insurance, registration, or license plates. They also don't need all the same equipment as cars, but they can have some extra safety features if they want.
You buy a motorized scooter to ride around town.
You don't need to get insurance for it, register it with the DMV, or put a license plate on it like you would for a car. You also don't need to have all the same equipment as a car, like turn signals or a windshield, but you can add lights if you want to make it safer to ride at night.
