Themarsman Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I work at the Melbourne Cricket Club a couple times a year, unfortunately I can't bring my wheel with me. Would love to ride when I am in town if I could rent a wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monocle Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 A couple months ago I was stopped by the cops while riding very sedately on an otherwise empty sidewalk on Smith St. in Fitzroy. They declined to give me a ticket but were emphatic that the only place in Victoria that it was possible to ride EUC legally was on private property. I did my best to read the actual legal code and it looks to me as if they weren't actually right, since the rules that might otherwise apply are defined in terms of the number of wheels on the vehicle, and nothing covers a vehicle with a single wheel. This is not advice to argue with cops on the street, but a lawyer mate of mine said he'd do some research.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) Maybe try attaching a small caster wheel to the front, and if you're stopped turn off the EUC and set it down on the small front wheel and just tell the cops you were just popping a wheelie. All the time. Or is it written specifically in the law that all wheels must be used in motion at all times?

Traveller Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I am not a cop but simple google search came across this info from Vic Roads. Certainly Vic Roads don't think it's legal. https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/safety-and-road-rules/road-rules/a-to-z-of-road-rules/hoverboards-segways-and-other-motorised-devices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mortal Coil Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Aye. I’ve been tracking down all my fellow Melbournites on the forum. Will be getting my 16X in a couple of weeks. I reckon the Merri Creek Trail to Flinders St station would make a good group ride. We can catch the train back to the trail head.

MexicanBatman Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 No need for trains 16x will make it there and back actually I live nearby and I ride all these trails regularly the Moonee Ponds creek, ring road trail, Merri creek trail, Darebin creek, Plenty valley river trail and Yarra trail and more Here’s a pic of the loop I did on Xmas eve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortal Coil Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Wow. You get around! I’m lucky to get 5k’s on the flat from my current wheel. The 16X will be a relevation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwila Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I’m still a bit fresh for a ride that far yet. Only done 180km so far. Been commuting into the city on the moonee ponds creek trail for a couple of weeks now. just sucks once I get along southbank as there are so many people... Maybe once I get a few more K’s on me I’ll be ready for a group ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
