Notes:
No approval for public roads
Hoverboards, electric skateboards and monowheels have no handlebars or seats. They therefore do not fall into any category of vehicles approved for use on the road. That is why you cannot drive it on public roads.

Notes:
Officialy classed as self-balancing personal transporter.
Can be ridden on sidewalks (*walking speed) or bikepaths (*bike speed)
