Aneta Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Of course, "hover" in hoverboard and hoverwheel does not mean literally hover; it means for human body to move effortlessly without moving limbs. If you watch somebody moving in this manner but their legs are obscured by a fence, it does look like they're hovering. To fight the word "hover" in hoverboard and hoverwheel is like fighting "dial" in "dial a number" - "but I don't dial anything, I tap the touchscreen!" It's just silly. It's silly to fight with the Goliath of the industry where "hoverboard" is already a firmly established name. And "hoverwheel" is just a natural extension of that onto one-wheeled self-balancing scooters without handlebars. Yer resistance is futile. You must unconditionally surrender! It is HOVERWHEEL!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DjPanJan Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 In the Czech Republic there is an official name for the EUC which is used by the court, lawyers, police, and the Transportation Act and I am not joking about that. Strong WTF moment when I read the law.Personal container with self-balancing device /Osobní přepravník se samovyvažovacím zařízením And the rules are: 1. Ride primarily on the sidewalk, maximum walking speed because you are a pedestrian in the Czech law (on EUC). 2. on the EUC bike path = bicycle 3. You have to drive on the left side of the road because you are a pedestrian. 4. You can enter the one-way street because you are a pedestrian. max speed is 7kmh footpath 25kmh bike path 50kmh road in city Czech unoficial word for EUC is : Jednokolka or kolečko in my north moravia region. https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osobní_přepravník_se_samovyvažovacím_zařízením 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Australia, legislators are lazy. They just knee jerk ban anything new and wait to see what the rest of the world does. I’m effectively breaking the law as soon as I take my EUC past my driveway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjPanJan Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Yes we have a law due to segway rentals in the past in the capital there were many injured and knocked down people. Therefore, they have made an anti segway law and even each city can exclude any self-balancing facility in its territory. Attention Prague 1 (historical part) has a complete ban on self-balancing devices, but silly scooters can go there without restrictions it is as embarrassing as our populist politicians who do not know what they are voting for and what its consequences are. Back to topic here sell these products e-shop as electric unicycle. But even the general public understands this term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Voltaic singular circumference roller", but I'm thinking of calling it "Voltaic Circumference Roller" for short. We'll abbreviate it as VCR. I can't imagine anyone confusing it with anything else...
