‘Self Balancing Scooters’—aka Swegways, aka hoverboards—are everywhere right now. Mostly because they make you look like you’re in Back To The Future Part 2, and are basically a Seqway you can ride without looking like Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
But not any more: police have announced that they are illegal to ride in public in the UK.
The Crown Prosecution Service has confirmed that under section 72 of the Highway Act 1835, it is against the law to ride them on any public road, including the pavement, and that they should only be used on private land.
By singing this petition, you are agreeing that you want to legalise monorovers AKA swegways on public pavements.
