QUESTION: Are electric wheelchairs street legal?

Electric models are intended to provide pedestrian mobility. In the US, your device should not be used on main roads. Keep it on pedestrian pathways (sidewalks, crosswalks, and walking paths). Where no sidewalk or path is available, you may use the roadway as any pedestrian would.
