About PEV Hub

PEV Hub started with a Onewheel. The owner bought one, got hooked, and kept running into the same questions: can I ride this on the bike path, is that sidewalk legal, how far will this battery really go?

Those answers are scattered across state codes, DMV pages and manufacturer spec sheets. A search summary will happily give you a confident answer to "are e-scooters legal on sidewalks in Ohio?" without telling you where it came from or how old it is. This site keeps the source next to every answer.

How we check things

• Laws come from each state's statutes, read on the legislature's own code site where we could reach it, or the state DMV or transportation department. Each state page lists the sections and links and the date we read them. When a statute says nothing about a vehicle, we write "not addressed in statute" instead of guessing.
• Specs come from the manufacturer's product or spec page, linked on every vehicle page. Range is always the maker's claim and labeled that way. Discontinued models use archived manufacturer pages.
• Guides are dated, use numbers from the database, and end with how we'd choose. There are no affiliate links.
• The ride log is first-hand. Entries still in draft are marked as drafts.

When we're wrong

Laws change every legislative session and cities add their own rules. If you know a statute changed, or a spec is off, send a correction with a link and we'll check it. Every page with a fact on it has a link to the same form.
