heard that segways and electric bikes aren't allowed in nyc.
maybe this can be considered a mobility device (like powered wheel chair)?

the rules should be in the state's motor vehicle code
segways werent legal to ride anywhere on public property in the USA when they first came out. two cities (Portland and Seattle maybe?) passed special laws allowing them on sidewalks. everywhere else they are still technically illegal--though in a lot of smaller communities the cops might not care as long as you weren't doing anything really stupid with one
I don't know about all 50 states, but the laws usually go like this:
,,,,the only non-motorized vehicles usually allowed on public roads are bicycles and draft animals and draft-powered vehicles (horses & horse-drawn buggies).
,,,,the only motorized vehicles allowed on public sidewalks is mobility devices for the handicapped. these vehicles have a separate set of technical rules (at the federal level IIRC) that states revert to using... one rule is that they have a max 12mph speed limit. and it's gotta be used by a real, actual handicapped person.
segways (or OP's scooter) don't qualify to ride in the street or on public sidewalks

with electric bikes there is ways to disguise the motor & batteries. a lot of people do it where they're not legal and cops can't find anything better to do

Why would you ride that shit?
Some kid down the street uses one after school and it's slow as hell when I watch it.
I saw a guy crossing the pulaski bridge with an electric skateboard. I doubt the police care - it's not as obvious as a segway. I've never heard of anyone getting a ticket for an electric bike.

Fucking people almost dying on a board like this.

6mph is unnaturally fast for a human to be travelling, no wonder he got fucked up.

That's not even a decent running speed.

If you have the ability to fire someone, they are not your coworker, they are your subordinate.

>>882922
Yes you may ride this girl

That guy couldn't tell the difference. He had a concussion.

Technically they may not be allowed in NYC, but electric bikes are used all the time especially for restaurant delivery, especially at Chinese owned establishments.

Made up bullshit. Go back to /r/askreddit and peddle your lies there.
