Hey guys, An Idea visited me a long time ago to create a legality map to point all the countries over the world that have a specific positive/negative relationship with Segways, EUCs and other rideable devices. After 6 months of research, I've formed a more/less comprehensive list, which is, however, becoming obsolete quite rapidly. Here's where I need your help! If you spot that your country's status is wrong / has changed / is not mentioned at all, please add a note in the comments. Even more important, please throw in official references to docs if you have access to them online. You can see below that some countries have official documents attached to the status, which is an ideal scenario to build a transparent database of info. The whole thing will become a clickable flash version located on one of our websites (probably a non-profit one). Switzerland (negative, ongoing) Electric unicycles are included in the latest statement, the riders are obliged to obtain a number plate and an insurance; it is legal to ride on the bicycle routes in case these documents can be provided by a rider. The issue persists that there is still no framework to register an electric unicycle, nor place a number plate as a result. The overall legislation is slightly more forward thinking than the one in the UK for instance; however, it still prevents EUC users to legally ride their devices anywhere. https://www.news.admin.ch/message/index.html?lang=de&msg-id=56870 Japan (negative, ongoing) Electric scooters, hoverboards, segways and wheels are being tested in designated areas of big cities and science parks, including Tsukuba City science park and Futako Tamagawa area in Tokyo (Hoffman Japan's private research) Hong Kong (negative) Due to the legal framework originating from the United Kingdom's legislative documents, it is not allowed for electric personal transport users to ride on pavements, roads or in any other public areas. Official press release: http://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/201505/06/P201505060417.htm Singapore (positive) Similar to HK, with the majority of related legislations originating from the British framework, personal electric vehicles were not allowed anywhere except private property. However, early 2016 the Government agreed on the usage of electric unicycles on pavements. http://www.stuff.tv/sg/features/all-you-need-know-about-owning-pev-in-singapore UK (negative) We are all familiar with the situation, here's the detailed explanation http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/p_to_r/road_traffic_offences/#dot Canada (passive negative) Being motorised, hoverboards and eucs are not allowed on sidewalks or roads, but the law is not enforced nor there is any recorded bad publicity. However, several sources state electric unicycles are equal to motorised mobility scooters. Germany (negative) Electric unicycles are banned from the road and pavement usage along with hoverboards http://ewheels.org/sites/default/files/Homologation_overview_Germany_ENG_2015.pdf Netherlands (neutral) Electric unicycles do not fall into any categories described as vehicles at the moment, making them non-compliant to any rules and restrictions. Unlike hoverboards that were recently proclaimed illegal on pavements and roads, electric unicycles are still in a grey area of legislation of Netherlands that classifies a rider of such thing as a pedestrian. http://wetten.overheid.nl/BWBR0004825/2014-03-20 Russia (positive) Electric unicycles are allowed on pavements Czech Republic (positive, ongoing) Electric unicycles are allowed on pavements with the speed not exceeding the walking pace, and cycling lanes with a speed limit of a generic bike. A slightly stricter framework is currently being developed by the road police in major cities. Ideally, the new regulations will allow local authorities to prohibit the usage of Segways and other rideable gadgets in certain areas, coming down to being able to ban them, for instance, in a single particular zone of Prague. http://www.ibesip.cz/data/web/novela-361-web.pdf Sweden (positive) Electric unicycles are equal to e-mopeds and e-bikes and allowed on cycling paths Finland (positive) Electric unicycles are equal to mopeds and bikes and are allowed on cycling lanes as long as they comply with the framework (front/back lights, helmet). They are also allowed on walkways and pavements if moving at a walking pace. http://www.lvm.fi/-/lightweight-electric-vehicles-to-be-legal-in-road-traffic-796805 Denmark (negative, ongoing) Electric rideables are currently under review by the commission and are being tested against stress situations. Luxembourg (positive) Electric unicycles are allowed on cycling lanes and pavements under 6km/h. The rules differ for various kinds of rideables: http://electricity.lu/index.php/fr/legislation-des-vehicules France, Belgium (positive) Electric unicycles are allowed on pavements and walkways, based on Segway European directive. http://electricity.lu/index.php/fr/legislation-des-vehicules Australia (negative) Electric unicycles, along with other light motorised vehicles, are banned from use in public (neither pedestrian, nor cycling paths). However, that may depend on each state's local legislation, which we are looking into at the moment. Norway (positive) Electric unicycles are legal to ride over the age of 16 and under 20kph, can be ridden in pedestrianized areas (walking speed), sidewalks and roads (under 60km/h). https://www.regjeringen.no/contentassets/f98f2c6a883e4ca1a3874d0c6326fe3e/endringer_selvbalanserende_juni2014b.pdf Israel (neutral) There are no regulations in place neither to prohibit electric rideables nor designate a particular area to use them on. It's fair to assume that electric unicycles are equated to skateboards and kick scooters and should be ridden on pavements and sidewalks. Thailand (neutral) There have been no cases of being stopped by the police or having a vehicle ceased. There has nor been legislations evolving around personal electric vehicles. United States NYC (negative) Hoverboards are banned from the usage on the sidewalks and roads of New York City, together with electric unicycles and electric skateboards. California (positive) , however in the state of California they are allowed on the cycling lanes, a rider needs to wear a helmet and not exceed 20mph, and sustainable motor power of less than 1000W. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB604 Washington State (positive) The bill dated 7/24/2015 specifically states that a single-wheeled device can be operated on sidewalks and residential streets. http://lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/2015-16/Pdf/Bills/Session%20Laws/House/1884.SL.pdf Virginia (positive) With a maximum speed limited to 25 mph, you can ride an electric mobility device on a sidewalk, street or cycling lane. http://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title46.2/chapter8/section46.2-908.1/ Washington DC (positive) Electric rideables, including electric unicycles, are permitted on sidewalks and cycling lanes, with an exception of Central Business District area. Personal Mobility Devices (PMD) are not considered motorised vehicles (although they are?) http://ddot.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/dmv/publication/attachments/May%2017%202013%20Non-traditional%20Motor%20Vehicle%20chart.pdf (If anyone feels like elaborating on the legal situation in other states of the US, we will be able to create a separate map for this) Let's create a comprehensive table together!

Bought March 2021 in Kaunas less than 200km total for now. Minor scratches, pedal sandpaper starting to peel off No other issues Dual pump and charger, of course, included. Selling because it is too heavy for daily use. My back started hurting after carrying it to 4th floor too often. Located in Vilnius, Lithuania. Will ship anywhere if costs covered.

I'd like to take the chance to post an ad for the first time in these forums. I'm Selling "2 x" Nikola Plus FANs Dynatron DB126015BH DC12V 0.43A For 50€ each + Shipping, or 80€ for both + Shipping I will ship the fan from Greece inside an envelope with tracking. Shipping is about ~5-7€. It's the models with the 3 cables but you can use only the 2 needed, be extra careful on the board, it's switched, you may need to remove the board connector swap it and then connect your new fan, to work. Pictures attached.

Hello to all! I've taken the liberty to write this post cause me and @Marty Backe decided to help European riders get their hands on a Pebble Watch, which is "THE BEST" companion smartwatch for an EUC rider out-there, specialy when using the new and revamped EUC.world application for Android This is a "project" that came to life after the need for European riders that can't get their hands on a Pebble cause there are NONE in Europe (ebay and others). More here https://forum.electricunicycle.org/topic/13403-euc-world-application-online-service/ EUC.world is an app that does everything an EUC rider needs, plus in latest version has full suport of Kingsong wheels, and more. You can always check out information and changelog on the euc.world website here https://euc.world But first things first, transparency. It all started here https://forum.electricunicycle.org/topic/13403-euc-world-application-online-service/page/36/?tab=comments#comment-288829 After you have a grasp of how what and why i'm asking the big question : Do you want me to send you a Pebble watch after a group buy is in place? If YES just reply on bellow this post and i will personally contact you over PM's with PayPal information, and when the orders have been completed from your side to my side, i'll wire the money to @Marty Backe and from his side in the US he will buy the Pebbles, send them to me and when i get them i'll start sending small parcel packages to each and every one that has chipped in on the group order. I'll contact my local post office tomorrow to get the latest prices for small packets with tracking (ELTA Hellenic Post in Greece) that will cost about 5~7€ per package and report back here with more information. Disclaimer : I'm not trying to take advantage of any user of the forums, that is why i've teamed up with @Marty Backe on this, we don't want you to trust us blidly, just that we want to help our fellow forum members, to give them a change on getting a Pebble watch from Europe without the extra ±30$ of shipping (~25€ and more) for one! And last, i'm not going to be able to send any Pebble to a user that hasn't sent the total of the order thru PayPal as a completed order, not pending ones, only completed and fullfiled transactions. Thank you for taking the time to read this And the list of interested users : @Χρήστος Γεωργαμπλοπουλος @archieuc @Tasos Athanasakis @travsformation @mkosterlund @Will R @Lode @Werner Last to join our cause is @Seba !!

Hey guys, This Easter (09/04-13-04) I'm planning to go visit lake Garda in Italy (known for having one of the prettiest bike lanes in the world) I'm picking up the interrail pass from Denmark and I wonder if there's any other nice cities to ride between Italy, Austria and Germany Got any suggestions? Would you like to join? Thanks in advance Cheers ✌️

Hello, I am planning on buying a ks 16s (840wh) as a first wheel, I am from Barcelona (Spain). I have seen a lot of different prices online, these are some of them (they are approximations because some required to start the purchase process to see the shipping price): ~1200€ in Aliexpress (item currently not available) 1360€ in myewheel ~1400€ in erides.co.uk 1450€ in 1radwerkstatt ~1500€ in eunicycles.eu ~1600€ in speedyfeet (sold out) ~1700€ in kingsong european sites and local physical stores My main question is if someone has experience with these sites, (specially the cheaper ones), because in Aliexpress the item alternates availability every couple of weeks and only shows 2 sales, which does not give me much confidence, and I don't know anything about erides or myewheel. I just know that I can trust speedyfeet and the local physical stores for good customer support but I wonder if that is really worth the price difference. Thank you in advance! [update - 29/Nov] Yesterday I bought the wheel on myewheel, there was a black friday discount of 5% so I payed 1292€. The customer service was excellent, before buying I asked about a couple mistakes in the product description and they fixed them immediately. The wheel has been sent today, I will update when I receive it! I payed through paypal so if there is any problem I guess I can get the money back. [update - 7/Dec] I received the wheel this morning, the wheel is in perfect condition, I spent about 1h 30min practising and I am quite tired. I learned to go straight and turn, but still need practice on getting on and off the wheel comfortably. I love it! Conclusion of the post: I totally recommend myewheel to purchase a Kingsong wheel on europe, it is cheap and I received it 9 days after the purchase (from Bulgaria to Spain). Also the customer service was perfect. Thanks all for the advice!

The V10F was bought in October 2018 from Amazon and the wheel was sent out from the IM France-Belgium warehouse. I contacted IM France to know if the battery enclosure was installed on my wheel. They replied that they will only answer this question after I send them the invoice. I did sent them the invoice numerous times and I have not got any reply since two months. Is there other Inmotion users with similar bad experiences with IM France-Belgium in the EU?
