    Thats what I was thinking.... It seems riding an electric cart would count if riding a lawnmower counted.

    Wheelchairs and electric personal mobility devices are specifically exempt from the definition of a vehicle. I don't know if the walmart scooters would meet the definition or not. And heck you can get one on a bicycle.
    IC 9-13-2-49.3 "Electric personal assistive mobility device"
    Sec. 49.3. "Electric personal assistive mobility device" means a self-balancing, two (2) nontandem wheeled device that is designed to transport only one (1) person and that has the following:
    (1) An electric propulsion system with average power of seven hundred fifty (750) watts or one (1) horsepower.
    (2) A maximum speed of less than twenty (20) miles per hour when operated on a paved level surface, when powered solely by the propulsion system referred to in subdivision (1), and when operated by an operator weighing one hundred seventy (170) pounds.

    ETA, not sure if a bicycle would be considered a vehicle now. Under (a)(1) it doesn't seem to now, but under (d) (dui section) there is no exception for human powered.
    IC 9-13-2-196 "Vehicle"
    Sec. 196. (a) "Vehicle" means, except as otherwise provided in this section, a device in, upon, or by which a person or property is, or may be, transported or drawn upon a highway. The term does not include the following:
    (1) A device moved by human power.
    (2) A device that runs only on rails or tracks.
    (3) A wheelchair.

    (b) For purposes of IC 9-17, the term includes the following:
    (1) Off-road vehicles.
    (2) Manufactured homes or mobile homes that are:
    (A) personal property not held for resale; and
    (B) not attached to real estate by a permanent foundation.

    (3) Watercraft.

    (c) For purposes of IC 9-22 and IC 9-32, the term refers to a vehicle of a type that must be registered under IC 9-18-2 (before its expiration) or IC 9-18.1, other than an off-road vehicle or a snowmobile under IC 9-18-2.5 (before its expiration) or IC 9-18.1-14.

    (d) For purposes of IC 9-30-5, IC 9-30-6, IC 9-30-8, and IC 9-30-9, the term means a device for transportation by land or air. The term does not include an electric personal assistive mobility device.
