Charged with a DWI on a Scooter in New York
Yes, you can get a DWI or DWAI (New York’s terms for a DUI) while driving an e-bike or e-scooter under the influence of alcohol or drugs. In fact, you can be charged with a DWI or DWAI for any motorized vehicle, even a golf cart.
If you’re involved in an accident or suspected of driving under the influence, you can be arrested and asked to take a breath test. Refusing to do so can implicate you of a traffic infraction which triggers an automatic one year license suspension and $500 fine. Even if you are later acquitted of the underlying DUI/DWI charge, the fine remains.
Operating a regular bike or scooter (without a motor) under the influence won’t necessarily result in a DWI, but it can result in a lesser charge of public intoxication or endangerment.
