Long Beach permits shared electric scooters and Long Beach Bike Share through a city-managed program. Operators pay fees, deploy in defined zones, and follow rules on speed, parking corrals, sidewalk riding, and rider age, with enforcement by Public Works and Police.
Long Beach was an early adopter of shared micromobility and continues to operate a vendor permit program for scooters and bikes. Permitted operators must follow city rules on fleet size, deployment zones, geofenced slow areas, and parking corrals. Riders must be at least sixteen years old for motorized scooters under California law, wear helmets if under eighteen, and avoid sidewalk riding on most streets. Long Beach Bike Share remains a key complementary program. Public Works manages permits while Police and parking enforcement address violations.
Improper scooter parking can trigger fines for operators and impoundment of devices. Riders violating sidewalk, helmet, or age rules face California Vehicle Code citations starting at low double-digit dollars.
