E-scooters can now legally zoom through Waterloo region.

As of Friday, the electric vehicles are allowed on select roads and pathways owned by the region and the main urban cities: Kitchener, Cambridge and Waterloo.

The major transportation change, supported by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, is paving a way for a future rideshare system.

I would put the chances of helmet wearing and adhering to the no sidewalks rule as squarely zero but I suppose better than an outright ban for starters. As usual, does more to illuminate our poor non-vehicular infrastructure as much or more than it says anything about safe operation of a scooter.
