E-Scooter Safety Information


A new Illinois state law regulating low-speed electric scooters went into effect on August 9, 2024, following the signing of Public Act 103-0899. This law prohibits the use of all electric scooters unless they are authorized by a local ordinance. The law also sets statewide regulations for communities that do allow the use of e-scooters, including age requirements, equipment standards and limitations on where they can be used. 
 
In response, the Village of Lombard has adopted a local ordinance allowing the use of low-speed electric scooters with restrictions set by the State. The Village does not have the authority to adopt local regulations that are less restrictive than state law. 
 
 At this time, the Village’s primary goal is to ensure public education and safety regarding low-speed electric scooter use.

To view FAQs, handouts and more detailed information about e-scooters and e-bikes, please visit the Village's E-Bikes and E-Scooters Safety webpage.
