FACT BRIEFAre e-bikes and e-scooters allowed on Las Vegas Strip sidewalks?
No.
E-bikes and e-scooters are banned from the Las Vegas Strip. The Clark County Commission passed a new ordinance in May 2025 banning e-bikes and e-scooters from the sidewalks of the resort corridor. Skateboards and roller skates were already banned from the Strip.
The county ordinance included other regulations on e-bikes and e-scooters, such as helmet requirements for juveniles and speed limits, as part of the county’s efforts to regulate increasingly popular modes of transportation that have been involved in multiple deadly traffic collisions in Clark County in 2025.
At least three e-bike users and five e-scooter users have died in the first ten months of the year, including multiple children.
In August 2025, the City of Las Vegas also moved to ban e-bikes and e-scooters on the sidewalks of Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas.
