A: When using a personal Ninebot Minipro in Atlanta, you should follow the same basic regulations as other electric personal mobility devices, like rental scooters. These rules are set by the city and state to ensure safety. Typically, these devices are allowed on bike lanes, sidewalks, and shared-use paths, but riding in traffic lanes is generally prohibited unless there is no sidewalk or bike lane available.

Make sure to obey the city’s helmet laws and avoid using your device on highways or major roads. Be mindful of speed limits, which are often restricted to around 15 mph on sidewalks and other pedestrian areas. Additionally, you should follow all traffic signals and yield to pedestrians.

Parking rules are important, too. Avoid blocking pathways or entrances when you’re done using your Ninebot. Although specific rules for personal scooters may not be widely available, applying these general guidelines should keep you in compliance with Atlanta’s regulations.
