I was wondering that myself so I checked. It turns out scotters with a handle bars are legal but with restrictions. - they must ride where bikes go. This means they must use bike paths if available and stay of the sidewalk - Users must be 16 or older. Under 16 but over 14 can use them but must have a Mofa license. - max speed must be under 20km/h - helmets are not required. I have however only ever seen people using them on the sidewalk :/
