Can they be ridden on the road without license or just sidewalk?

Yes they can only be ridden on roads or bike paths, not sidewalks.The bike is nice, but beware that Customer Service sucks.

I ride on both. I had officer pull me over for wearing head phones while on the bike. He knew I was on a ebike. I haven't had any problems. I use my discretion ~ between road & sidewalk.

I never ride my Jetson on the sidewalk unless it's just to park it. I ride it one the road and follow the rules for bike riding i.e. ride on the right side, use turn signals, etc. No license or registration is required.

According to my research with law enforcement (city prosecutor and Ohio State patrol) the Jetson is an unapproved motorized bicycle that cannot be registered and therefore cannot be ridden upon the road in Ohio. Motor vehicles cannot be ridden on a public sidewalk also. It also cannot be ridden on private property open to the public (such as a parking lot). In Ohio, it would be restricted to private property not open to the public.

You should check with your local DMV, however, I believe you will need a drivers license.

People and laws frown upon riding on the sidewalk. I do get off my bike and walk it on the sidewalk to a place where I need to go or lock up the jetson.Riding on the main road is appropriate as long as its done on the side, out of the way of faster moving traffic.I have added handlebar mirrors to the left and right side, in order to compliment the mirrors that come with the Jetson.This allows me to have better peripheral vision while riding.

You can chose to use Hwy or avoid certain road types. It will not navigate you on unverified roads. I'd highly recommend a paper map along with any GPS for that worse case scenario.

I ride mine on the sidewalk, but where people are walking, I move to the road. It comes with very nice mirrors that give a broad view behind you.

Yes, it does and most of the States require a registration of the scooter in the State and a driver's license to ride it.. Please contact your local DMV for the rules in your city. :)

Does not have keys associated with it, just an on/off switch, and where we live since it is battery powered it does not require a license of any sort and my kids ranging in age from 7 through 15 have always been able to ride them on the street without any problems, but I would definitely check the laws where you live.

You shouldn't need a license, at least in the US, as long as you are using it from the water and for water related uses (talking to a harbor, contacting another boat, calling for help is case of an emergency).

I don't know about Massachusetts but it is legal in California - no registration needed no license no insurance but must wear helmet. I would think your local police dept could tell you for sure - but I would bet is legal there if it is here. Steve

We have not used them outside. Only at the roller rink. They are very good quality so I think you could use them on the sidewalk/driveway.

Yes you can, but I would be very careful about that. In my opinion four wheels would make it unstable and dangerous for someone who is depending on a walker.

You can defiantly peddle through grass but works best on pavement. It's not really for off road.

You can, but don't. Standing is not a good way to ride and doing it on a regular bike is easier. When I was road riding I seldom stood up except to rest my rear end. The seat is also too big you really need the narrow bike seat which way more comfortable. I got the bike to just keep my legs working not as a substitute for real riding.

In some states you can be ticketed if you use this as a trailer without putting an ANSI or CPSC approved helmet on your child. It's the same as a five or ten year old riding their own bike with no helmet.

Probably varies by state..is considered an electric bike/scooter in OH and KY..no license required...

DMV in CA says that they are legal on streets with 25mph or less, no registration required, no insurance, but must wear helmet. https://www.dmv.ca.gov/motorcycles/motorcycles.htm

Yes, you can use but you must have a license to drive it and must buy headlights and all the necessary gear (helmet and such). I actually got pulled over on it for driving off highway vehicle without a license and no headlights and I was 18 so make sure you get the proper paperwork and gear lol:.other than that, it's a very fun ride :)
