On what type of road can you legally use an electric assistive mobility device?

You can legally use an electric assistive mobility device on a road with a speed limit of 35 mph. This is because laws governing the use of such devices typically allow their operation on streets designed with lower speed limits, making it safer for individuals who rely on these devices. Roads with higher speed limits may pose a greater risk to users due to the difference in vehicle speeds.

While lower speed limit roads allow for safe usage of electric mobility devices, those with no speed limit or higher speed limits may not provide the necessary safety conditions, as the faster-moving vehicles may create a hazardous environment for users of assistive mobility devices. Therefore, a road with a speed limit of 35 mph strikes a balance, allowing for safe operation while ensuring that electric assistive devices can be used on public roadways where they can keep up with the surrounding traffic.
