Answer

As a general rule of thumb, only people-powered vehicles are allowed, with exceptions for persons with disabilities. That means we do not allow electric scooters, skateboards, hoverboards, unicycles, motorcycles and other non-people-powered vehicles, but we do allow motorized wheelchairs and related vehicles for people with disabilities.

We want to make sure that everyone can enjoy our route.

Motor-powered vehicles are not permitted:

  • Electric scooters
  • E-bikes with throttles (if you're not pedaling with the power off)
  • Hoverboards
  • Electric skateboards
  • Segways
  • Electric unicycles
  • Mopeds
  • Motorbikes
  • Motorcycles
  • Cars

Some vehicles, like hoverboards and motorized scooters, aren’t necessarily fast, but they’re still disruptive to the active and people-powered spirit of CicLAvia. It’s great to find an efficient and enjoyable way to get around Los Angeles; they just aren’t allowed on the CicLAvia route.

The following non-motorized vehicles are welcomed:

  • Bicycles
  • Rollerskates
  • Rollerblades
  • Scooters
  • Skateboards
  • Unicycles
  • Tricycles
  • Pedestrians
  • Runners
  • Power wheelchairs/mobility scooters (or similar) for participants with disabilities
