It's unsurprising to see electric scooters darting around almost every state. After all, they're exciting, convenient, and still feel almost futuristic.
Although the real surge in popularity began in 2018, as we head into 2025, some states are still way behind in terms of setting e-scooter laws.
And unfortunately, Nebraska is one of them.
As in places like South Carolina, there are currently no laws that specifically regulate the use of electric scooters.
So, how are you supposed to know what rules to follow?
That's exactly what we'll tell you in this guide.
E-scooters in Nebraska are subject to local regulations and it's up to each city or town to set their own rules.
As a result, the laws regarding speed limits, parking laws, age restrictions, and everything else e-scooter-related can vary depending on the area.
In some areas, e-scooters may be subject to the same laws as certain motor vehicles or electric bicycles. In others, there are specific rules for electric scooter use.
Of course, we can't cover the laws in every area of Nebraska in this guide. So, as they're the two largest cities in the state with the highest volumes of e-scooter riders, we'll focus on Lincoln and Omaha.
Remember, if you're riding a scooter in another area, you must check the local regulations before you start cruising.
Although there are no specific laws for the state, e-scooters are listed as one of the vehicles exempt from registration by the Nebraska DMV. In other words, regardless of which area you're in, you don't need to register your e-scooter.
E-scooter riders don't need a license in most states, but the situation is a bit more complicated in Nebraska.
Although you don't need to register your e-scooter with the DMV, some areas of Nebraska do require riders to hold some form of license.
For example, in Lincoln, electric scooter riders must have either a valid motor vehicle operator's permit or a valid state-issued ID.
Each area of Nebraska decides how old residents must be to ride electric scooters. In both Omaha and Lincoln, you need to be at least 18.
It's legal to ride electric scooters on roads in Omaha and Lincoln. However, in Lincoln, they can't be ridden on roads with speed limits above 35 mph.
Generally, electric scooter laws in the US prohibit riding on sidewalks. This seems to be applicable in most areas of Nebraska, too.
In Lincoln, for instance, e-scooter riders are only allowed to use roads or designated bike lanes; however, they're not legally allowed to ride on sidewalks or multi-paths (e.g. City Trails).
Electric scooters are also not allowed on sidewalks in Omaha.
Different areas of Nebraska have varying speed limits for electric scooters. However, the specific regulations around speed are not widely available.
As scooters in Lincoln are only permitted on roads with a maximum speed limit of 35 mph, we can assume that this is also the overall maximum speed limit.
Still, you should familiarize yourself with the e-scooter speed limits in your specific area of the state and never rely on assumptions.
As electric scooters are exempt from registration in Nebraska, they don't require number plates. This is a state-wide exemption covering Omaha, Lincoln, and all other areas.
Most states require e-scooter riders below a certain age to wear a helmet. In Lincoln specifically, there are no legal requirements for riders of any age to wear one, but we always strongly encourage it.
If you're looking for a helmet that adheres to the strictest safety standards without compromising on style, check out the Unagi Helmet. We take rider safety incredibly seriously, which is why we offer premium accessories alongside the most flexible, convenient scooter rentals available.
The majority of states also prohibit scooter riders from carrying passengers, and the laws in Lincoln note that an e-scooter can only ever be ridden by one person.
Typically, most states allow e-scooters to be parked on the sidewalk as long as they don't cause an obstruction to pedestrians. This is also the case in Lincoln, but there are a range of other more specific parking regulations, including:
Although there are no state-wide electric scooter laws in Nebraska, most major cities like Omaha and Lincoln have put local rules in place. And while you'll find similarities in these laws of different areas, there are also plenty of variations.
So, it's important you're familiar with the laws in your specific area of Nebraska before you head out on an e-scooter.
To do this, you can check your city or county government websites for specific ordinances related to e-scooters. Then, you can start cruising in style and safety.
