(Maybe I could move my arms like I'm jogging and hope they don't look down.) well, we do have to lean. so roads are illegal or just stupid, bike paths and sidewalks are illegal, what’s left? i would not enjoy riding my wheel where it wasn’t legal or wanted. God forbid if u involved in a minor accident with a pedestrian, even if it was their fault. probably get arrested and sued into oblivion. maybe time to break out the jedi cloak. or maybe they’d be afraid to approach the grim reaper.

Practicing the same maneuvers with Tesla will have to wait until I get the surgeon's clearance. Fantastic Near perfect form. Clearly you are the one to beat now God, I love the Mten3. I know exactly how fun and effortless that is. I'm glad you have one so you can still enjoying wheeling while the body heals. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novazeus Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 @RayRay next time show this to the authorities. i think they are describing hoverboards but surely euc would fall into this classification: Electric personal assistive mobility devices; regulations.— (1) An electric personal assistive mobility device, as defined in s. 316.003, may be operated: (a) On a road or street where the posted speed limit is 25 miles per hour or less. (b) On a marked bicycle path. (c) On any street or road where bicycles are permitted. (d) At an intersection, to cross a road or street even if the road or street has a posted speed limit of more than 25 miles per hour. (e) On a sidewalk, if the person operating the device yields the right-of-way to pedestrians and gives an audible signal before overtaking and passing a pedestrian. (2) A valid driver license is not a prerequisite to operating an electric personal assistive mobility device. (3) Electric personal assistive mobility devices need not be registered and insured in accordance with s. 320.02. (4) A person who is under the age of 16 years may not operate, ride, or otherwise be propelled on an electric personal assistive mobility device unless the person wears a bicycle helmet that is properly fitted, that is fastened securely upon his or her head by a strap, and that meets the standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI Z Bicycle Helmet Standards), the standards of the Snell Memorial Foundation (1984 Standard for Protective Headgear for Use in Bicycling), or any other nationally recognized standards for bicycle helmets which are adopted by the department. (5) A county or municipality may regulate the operation of electric personal assistive mobility devices on any road, street, sidewalk, or bicycle path under its jurisdiction if the governing body of the county or municipality determines that regulation is necessary in the interest of safety. (6) The Department of Transportation may prohibit the operation of electric personal assistive mobility devices on any road under its jurisdiction if it determines that such a prohibition is necessary in the interest of safety. (21) ELECTRIC PERSONAL ASSISTIVE MOBILITY DEVICE.—Any self-balancing, two-nontandem-wheeled device, designed to transport only one person, with an electric propulsion system with average power of 750 watts (1 horsepower), the maximum speed of which, on a paved level surface when powered solely by such a propulsion system while being ridden by an operator who weighs 170 pounds, is less than 20 miles per hour. Electric personal assistive mobility devices are not vehicles as defined in this section. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. Excuse? Absolutely not. Sorry. I can ride my 14” and 18” backward.. they are vastly different, both fully doable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find transitioning to the Tesla a challenge at the moment being I have shied away from riding the bigger wheels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't stand still by itself, needs the human effort to make it move.

I think most municipalities have recognized electric unicycles as EPAMD's at this point, but until more cases are tried, it's still a gray area. If anything, this guy was reacting to previous complaints about electric bikes (or skateboards) going too fast (resulting in a crackdown). It's hard to argue with a sign that says 'No Motor Vehicles' and I volunteered to proceed along an adjacent road with a bike lane. In the end, I was done with the trail and about to switch to the streets to ride home anyway... The conservation guy clearly thought he was doing his duty; albeit, begrudgingly. Ironically, he was driving his electric golf cart partially on the path while looking for rule breakers. I think he felt bad about enforcing the requirement and seemed willing to take me back to where I'd parked (had I driven). I briefly tried to argue how silly I thought the rule was; but he was so sympathetic, it seemed pointless... So I rode home; discouraged yet a little rebellious (needed to cut through another bike path to make it home).
