My questions pertain to whether or not I need to get a particular vehicle licensed or registered in the state of Ohio, in case anyone is confident about the laws there....
I plan on moving to central Ohio in the near future and intend to buy an electric scooter. What I would ideally like to get is a 500W electric scooter bike that does not utilize gas at all. It can travel up to 28 miles per hour, has 2 wheels, optional pedals, a floorboard, rearview mirrors, turn signals, a headlight, etc. I only intend to ride this vehicle in the bike lane and obey traffic laws to the best of my general knowledge.
My questions are: Would I need to get a moped license or register this e-scooter with the Ohio BMV? Also, would I need insurance on this e-scooter? I can't but feel a little uncertain even after having done some research online, but I don't want to get ticketed when the time comes to ride whatever new scooter bike I end up buying.
