New safety regulations for personal electric vehicles, including age restrictions and speed limits, will take effect in Manitoba next year. The rules aim to address growing concerns over accidents and improper use of e-scooters and similar devices on public roads. Riders will need to meet specific criteria to operate these vehicles legally, marking a shift toward stricter oversight. The changes reflect broader efforts across Canada to standardize safety measures for emerging forms of micro-mobility.
