E-Scooters and Kids Safety in Quebec | Calgary News

Quebec’s e-scooter pilot program is set to extend to 2028, with a new 25 km/h speed limit and $200 fines for violations—aimed at safer roads. But doctors are alarmed: 30 kids treated at Montreal’s children’s hospital this year alone, many under 14, despite the current 14-year-old age limit. Medical experts demand the minimum age be raised to 16, arguing e-scooters are far riskier than e-bikes. The government says safety is top priority, with awareness campaigns underway—but critics question if the rules are truly protecting young riders from life-altering injuries.
