Strict Regulations for Riding Electric Scooters Take Effect in Kazakhstan

Strict regulations for riding electric scooters take effect in Kazakhstan. Specifically, the speed of riding on sidewalks must not exceed pedestrian speed, which means no more than six kilometers per hour. Scooters will also be required to have a driver's license.

Electric scooters are allowed to travel in the right lane of the roadway, including in bus lanes, but only in a single file. However, to do this, the rider must be at least 18 years old, wear a helmet and reflective clothing, and possess any type of driving license.
