Update from the West Hempfield Police Department

Electric Scooters, Unicycles, and Other Devices

With the availability of many new and efficient means of transportation, we would like to take some time to address the use of some of these options on public roadways. (Please refer to the PA Micromobility Fact sheet below for more information.)

​

E-bikes - May be operated on sidewalks and roadways in Pennsylvania, unless prohibited by local ordinance. They are prohibited on freeways. They are classified as a vehicle, but not a motor vehicle and are exempt from titling, registration, insurance, etc. They should follow laws related to and be treated by motorists the same as a bicycle.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​​​

Segway - Defined as an EPAMD, Electric Personal Assistive Mobility Device- A self-balancing, two-non-tandem-wheeled device designed to transport only one person with an electric propulsion system.  They are allowed to be operated on sidewalks and the berm of a roadway unless prohibited by local ordinance.  They are not required to be registered, etc.  

​

Electric Wheelchair - Specifically designed for and used by an individual with mobility-related disability in lieu of walking, can be used on the berm of a roadway. These devices are not considered vehicles according to the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code. Operators of these devices should follow laws related to and be treated by motorists the same as pedestrians.

​

Electric Scooters - They are prohibited on the roadways and can only be operated on private property.  

​

Electric Unicycles - They are prohibited on the roadways and can only be operated on private property.

​

WHTPD officers have the discretion of issuing a citation or a warning when enforcing the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code. If stopped for operating one of these vehicles/bikes on the roadway or sidewalk, you may be issued a citation that incurs a fine.
