The National Park Service has issued a final rule that creates a specific category for “powered micromobility devices.” This group includes items like electric scooters, hoverboards, and Segways.
Why it matters: This is a practical administrative update that gives park managers clear authority to allow or restrict things like e-scooters without them being treated as full motor vehicles.
