So you want to take your electric scooter with you on an Amtrak? Well, you’ve come to the right place. I have tested it out for you because I couldn’t get a clear answer anywhere.
Can you bring an electric scooter with you on an Amtrak?
First, I will say that there isn’t anything stated on the Amtrak website about Electric scooters, only about electric bikes.
I have contacted the Amtrak contact center twice and the first time the operator said she didn’t know the answer. The second operator said it was prohibited, even though when I asked where it was stated, he couldn’t give a concise answer.
So I decided to give it a shot and took it with me on a round trip. The first time the conductor said it wasn’t a problem as long as I didn’t ride it on board (which I would never do) and to keep it with me the whole trip.
On the way back I had another conductor who also didn’t mind but asked if I could put it in the overhead space and if it wouldn’t fit that I would put it in the first-floor bike storage area.
I asked him about the rules and explained that there was nothing about E-scooters on the Amtrak website, and he replied that as far as most conductors are concerned that they fall under the same category and rules as the E-bikes. Here is the page with the E-bike rules for Amtrak. It’s in the middle of the page.
