Eryk88 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Hi everyone,We have all read in the media today that UK is clamping down on self balancing devices! Lets try to put a stop to this and show our unity on this matter. Let's try to change the law...!!!l have came a across this petition set up by Steve Miltion. If it gets over 80,000 signatures it will be discussed on the House of Commons! Let's start signing!Please let's spread the word on social media and get the numbers we need!Let's do it for EUC!Thank you for your support #UKridesEUC----------------------Allow the usage of self-balancing scooters on public footways and cycle lanesElectric transporters can reduce the number of buses and cars on the streets. Due to the Section 72 of Highway Act 1835, on 12th of October Crown Prosecution Service released a guidance under which the usage of hoverboards and electric unicycles on the public streets would be illegal.Electric unicycles and hoverboards are safe and emission-free transportation devices that have gained popularity in the UK and worldwide since 2012. The devices are portable, they do not require any parking space, and also have restricted speed. Normal riding speed does not exceed running speed. There is a UK manufacturer producing high-quality, stable and safe electric transporters. This company created jobs for over 50 people and represents a significant innovation in transport industry.

Villac Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 By the way this link: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/110249 doesn't include the (metadata?) that makes your browser think it is already signed.With this link I get the message it is awaiting approval for publication (TUE 1430 Eastern Standard Time) but I will keep checking back.Thanks for starting this motion!

Sophia Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 hi .. is there a current petition? has anyone ever heard of a pedestrian being hurt by a rider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nute Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Not sure Sophia, it seems that whilst there are probably a lot of electric transport users if we include the electric skateboard and scooter users but we just can't seem to get organised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Not sure i'm posting in the right place but now i'm actually riding the V8 can anyone give advice Phone is old so riding without an app for another 2 weeks-everything seems ok Wheel well padded but bad scrapes on pedal hinges- the thick tape lasted minutes To 100% drain the battery completely for best life -it's now at 2 bars, red and yellow -should i ride it till it tips me off and will it warn me? and--havent managed to get the air hose at the garage to connect so i dont actually know what pressure the wheel riding is as im using a bike pump -it feels medium, not esp hard Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Hi Sophia, there is really no need to drain the battery to the point that it tilts back and won't let you ride it anymore. The battery life will not be increased by much. You should charge before your next ride IMHO. You are at low voltage now. I don't have a V8, but I think most wheels have similar low battery behavior to protect the batteries from overdischarge, I rode the ninebot down to less than 20% one time just to see what it would do, it started lowering the speed by tilting back until finally it would only go about 6mph. It's also a rider safety feature, the lower the voltage, the less power available to keep the wheel balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
