Judge Rules on Scooter Rental on Block Island
Block Island, RI- from turnto10.com- In a continuing story, a Superior Court judge has ruled on the permissibility of scooter rentals on the island. Back in October, a Superior Court judge ruled that since scooters don't have pedals, that they must be treated under state law as motorcycles, which would require licenses as a condition of rental. Mopeds, by contrast, do have pedals and are considered motorized bicycles and not motorcycles. The court decided to hold off on implementing change to law enforcement regarding scooter rental on the island. In the Dec. 2 ruling, however, the judge decided that scooters will, in future, need to be treated as motorcycles.The ruling will have a big impact on local scooter rental businesses who have been renting scooters to riders without motorcycle licenses for years. To abide by the ruling, businesses will be required to trade their fleets out to mopeds.
