Sioux Falls has no active shared e-scooter or e-bike program; private e-scooters are allowed on streets and bike lanes under SDCL 32-20B but prohibited on most downtown sidewalks under Ch. 124.
Cities like Minneapolis host Lime and Bird fleets, but Sioux Falls has not licensed a shared micromobility operator. Private e-scooter ownership is permitted under SDCL 32-20B, with riders treated similarly to bicyclists. Riders must yield to pedestrians, follow traffic signals, and use bike lanes where available. Ch. 124 prohibits riding on sidewalks within the central business district from Cliff Avenue to Minnesota Avenue between 6th and 14th Streets. Helmets are not mandated for adults; riders under 18 are encouraged but not required to wear them.
Sidewalk riding in restricted zones brings citations of about 50 dollars; reckless operation may be cited under SDCL 32-24 with higher penalties for repeat offenses.
