E-scooter users encouraged to ride responsibly
August 20, 2025 - 1:00pm
With e-scooters becoming a more common mode of transportation on city roads and shared pathways, remember to be a responsible and respectful rider.
Shared e-scooters have been allowed in Saskatoon since 2023. City Council voted to allow privately owned e-scooters on the public right-of-way at their May 2025 meeting.
Under the provincial regulations for limited speed motor vehicles, e-scooter users must be at least 16 years old and are required to wear a helmet.
In Saskatoon, e-scooters are permitted on streets with posted speed limits 50 km/h or less, shared-use paths, cycle tracks and protected bike lanes. Sidewalk riding is not allowed, and scooters should not be operated at a speed greater than 24 km/h.
When travelling on shared paths, riders should use a bell or horn to signal to pedestrians and cyclists. Give as much space as possible when passing.
Please ride responsibly to create a safe and enjoyable environment for all road and pathway users.
To learn more about e-scooters in Saskatoon, please visit https://www.saskatoon.ca/escooters.
