Phoenix, AZ EUC laws?

[Invictus Testis]

I'm doing some extensive research on which UEC to get and now I'm looking up the legal issues of riding a EUC on the road/sidewalk. I can not find any information on laws in Phoenix, AZ about riding a UEC on roads/sidewalk. All I have found was basically close to e-scooters or e-bikes but nothing about UEC. I hope someone here has some information about this

Most jurisdictions don't have laws for EUCs and since they aren't e-bikes or scooters you are kind of in no mans land. My advice would be to ride one like a bicycle if you want to be on multi-use paths and in bike lanes. Be courteous. Wear a helmet. You'll blend in best and unless you run into a cop who is having a really bad day you should be fine.

If you want to ride fast get out in the driving lane and hope for the best when it comes to enforcement. You'll be acting like a motorcycle, but without any insurance or registration so it'll be hard to argue you are an "e-bike/scooter". 

I'd stay off sidewalks all together other than for short distances where there is no other option. Adults don't belong on the sidewalk on a motorized vehicle or even a bicycle.

Ask someone to tell you what you can and cannot do and they will likely oblige.

Seriously...

Electric unicycles meet the definition of an Electric personal assistive mobility device in ARS 28-101 and are specifically excluded as motor vehicles but like bicycles (and ebikes) are not excluded from the definition of “vehicles”.

Vehicles are prohibited on sidewalks but are permitted on the street.
