Do Elderly Mobility Scooters Require a Driver's License?

[RhettDella]

Elderly mobility scooters do not require a driver's license. Here is some additional information: Introduction: Although elderly mobility scooters are classified as motor vehicles, they are not considered new energy vehicles. These vehicles are not listed in the national vehicle production catalog and are classified as non-compliant vehicles, essentially equivalent to unqualified motor vehicles. Additionally, elderly mobility scooters do not meet the corresponding national technical standards and do not qualify for vehicle registration. Therefore, they cannot be licensed as motor vehicles or insured, making them ineligible for road use. Notes: This includes public roads, urban streets, and areas within communities or compounds where social vehicles are permitted. Naturally, it is also impossible to obtain a driver's license for elderly mobility scooters. Currently, elderly mobility scooters on the market pose safety hazards, being not only non-compliant but also dangerous.
