Electric Scooters and Personal Mobility Devices

Personal mobility devices such as electric scooters are convenient, but they are high-risk modes of transport tangled up with issues of licensing, helmets, number of riders, where you can ride, parking, drunk driving, and insurance. Because laws, local government policies, and operator terms can change, the app must not give definitive answers.

• Check the license and age requirements for riding in the Road Traffic Act (도로교통법) and the operator's terms.
• Check the safety rules for helmets, the ban on passengers, the ban on drunk driving, the ban on using a mobile phone, and nighttime riding.
• Check where you are allowed to ride, such as bike lanes, roadways, and sidewalks.
• Check return-allowed zones, no-parking zones, and towing, fines, and extra fees.
• Check the procedures for reporting to the police, getting medical treatment at a hospital, and filing an operator insurance claim in case of an accident.
