Something wrong in this section? Tell us.E-scooters
Not addressed in statute. We found no Wyoming statute that covers this vehicle by name or by a definition that clearly fits it. That isn't permission: police and cities may treat it under another category. Wyoming has no e-scooter definition. A stand-up e-scooter may fit the 'motorized skateboard' definition (a motorized device with a deck to ride on and at least two wheels, W.S. 31-1-101(a)(xxix)), which is not a motor vehicle and may be regulated by cities and counties. But the 'motorcycle' definition says that for registration and titling it includes 'scooters' (31-1-101(a)(xv)(E)). The statute does not say which applies to stand-up e-scooters.
Electric boards (incl. Onewheel-style)
How the law defines it: "Motorized skateboard": a self-propelled device with a motor or engine, a deck to ride on, and at least two wheels on the ground. Not a motor vehicle.

Something wrong in this section? Tell us.Electric unicycles
Not addressed in statute. We found no Wyoming statute that covers this vehicle by name or by a definition that clearly fits it. That isn't permission: police and cities may treat it under another category. Electric unicycles have one wheel, so they do not meet the 'motorized skateboard' two-wheel minimum. No other definition covers them.
