Laws governing the operation of bicycles, motor scooters (electric or gas powered), skateboards, and other modes of transportation on public streets, highways, and roads vary from state to state, and among cities and towns (municipal ordinances).

Some of the important laws governing these alternative modes of transportation include proper roadways and lanes for operation; speed limits; required safety precautions (helmets, etc.); application of traffic laws; license requirements; and the application of laws regarding being under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

In Oklahoma, bicycles, motor scooters, skateboards, and similar modes of transportation are subject to specific laws and regulations. Bicyclists are generally required to follow the same traffic laws as motor vehicle drivers, such as obeying traffic signals and signs. They must ride as close to the right side of the roadway as practicable, except when passing, turning left, or avoiding hazards. Helmets are not mandated by state law for bicyclists of any age, but local ordinances may require them, especially for minors. Motor scooters and electric scooters are also regulated and may require a valid driver's license to operate, depending on their speed capabilities. These vehicles must be equipped with lights if operated at night. Skateboards are typically not allowed on roadways and may be restricted to sidewalks or designated areas, with local ordinances dictating specific rules. Operating any of these modes of transportation under the influence of alcohol or drugs is illegal and subject to the same DUI laws that apply to motor vehicle drivers. It's important to check local ordinances as they can impose additional restrictions or requirements beyond state statutes.
