Queen Creek, AZ Mobility & Curb Rules: Shared E-Scooter Rules (2026)

Town Code Section 11-6-1, in Article 11-6 (Shared Bicycles or Shared Other Power-Driven Mobility Systems), requires every person in the business of being a rental agency for new or used shared bicycles or shared other power-driven mobility devices, which includes shared electric scooter fleets, to obtain a business license under Article 8-1. Section 11-6-2 layers on operational duties: the rental agency must take proactive measures to inform customers of applicable rules, and must provide them a copy of the Code in paper form or through a website or mobile app.

No person may engage in renting, deploying or staging shared bicycles or shared other power-driven mobility devices on Town property or rights-of-way without both a Town-issued business license and a right-of-way use permit, and no agency may rent out a device unless it carries the lamps and other equipment the Code requires. Separately, Section 9-11-1 sets the no-ride zones that apply to riders themselves regardless of whether the device came from a rental fleet or is privately owned: it is unlawful to operate an electric miniature scooter within any area where signage prohibits it, or in a Town park as defined in Article 15-1 and outlined in Article 9-8.

The same section bars micromobility devices, a category covering electric scooters and standup scooters under the Chapter 11 definitions, from any public street where the posted speed limit exceeds 25 miles per hour, in addition to the signage and park restrictions. Riders must also obey traffic-control devices, yield to pedestrians and equine, and not exceed posted or prima facie speed limits under the general operating rules in the same article.
