Wyoming, MI Public Conduct: Skateboarding Rules (2026)

Article V of Chapter 70, adopted by Ord. No. 4-25 in 2025, treats skateboards and electric skateboards as micromobility devices alongside bicycles, e-bikes, and scooters. Sec. 70-452 defines an electric skateboard as a wheeled device with a floorboard no more than 60 inches long and 18 inches wide, built for one rider, with an electric propulsion system of no more than 2,500 watts and a top speed on pavement of no more than 25 mph; plain skateboards fall under the broader micromobility device definition. Sec.

70-453 sets operating rules: riders must stay to the right, travel single file on sidewalks, not impede other users, audibly alert pedestrians before passing, keep at least one hand on the controls, and, under subsection (i), never ride faster than is reasonable for conditions, cap sidewalk speed at 15 mph unless otherwise posted, and never operate a motorized device capable of more than 20 mph on a sidewalk or multi-use trail. Sec. 70-454 bars riding on private property without the owner's permission and bars use in a park, on a sidewalk, or in any public place where signage or pavement markings prohibit it.

Riders involved in an accident causing serious injury, death, or more than $500 in property damage must stay at the scene for medical help and report property damage to police within 24 hours under Sec. 70-456.
