Skating gets a 21st century makeover

Soarboard/ Hoverboard According to the guidelines, people can only ride Segways (a two-wheeled, selfbalancing scooter powered by electric motors) or hover boards on their own private property, such as in their backyard, and not on public roads or sidewalks.

This is not a new ban, rather, it is part of the Highway Act of 1835 that says riding or driving a vehicle on pavement is unsafe. However, the law only applies in England and Wales, although Scotland has a similar law, the Roads Act of 1984. The guidelines were added to the law with the rise of the popular Segway, which can go as fast as 12.5 mph.

Airwheel AirBoard, in comparison, can reach speeds of 10 mph.

The self-balancing electric scooters are starting to pop up everywhere and everyone is amazed by its beauty and speed. The so-called self-balancing scooter has no controls per se and easy to use as you begin to ride along with it. The company developed the high-tech Zero-G Hands Free Segway to deliver it to anyone who wanted to try the fun of the coolest new toy in town.
