Nova Scotia is moving to restrict who can ride e-bikes and e-scooters, with a proposed ban on children under 14, according to reports. Public Works Minister Fred Tilley says the age requirement is part of broader changes planned for the province’s Traffic Safety Act, with updates expected to be introduced in the fall. The proposal would apply to both e-bikes and e-scooters, limiting access for younger riders until they reach the minimum age. While the outlets describe the measure as an upcoming legislative change, they do not specify the exact enforcement details, exemptions, or whether the restriction will take effect immediately once the law is amended. Both reports frame the move as part of a traffic safety overhaul intended to regulate the use of micromobility devices by minors.
