Technology never stops. But what happens when it conflicts with the law? The reason for the new fashion of movement that listens to name hoverboards and that the police around the world do not know where to classify it. Is it a bicycle, skate, skateboard or motorbike?
The hoverboards are electric self-balancing locomotion machines. They usually have 20 small ones inside batteries and can move on a straight road at a maximum speed of 10 km/h. These technical characteristics are responsible for bureaucratic civil servants classifying them in London as an electric passenger transport machine and putting them in the same fate as other vehicles on the roads.
But the traffic on the public roads of all "vehicles" without license plates is of course prohibited. And vehicles are not allowed on the sidewalks…. !!! In short in England are forbidden to move everywhere in public. But you may as well usesτε μέσα στο σπίτι σας, από το σαλόνι στην τουαλέτα και ανάποδα.
And if you tell us that the English are of formal belief we inform you that it is not the only country with legal confusion in the means of transport. And in the state of California, America, a law of 1970 was in force until yesterday, and it was classified in the vehicles.
According to The Guardian the law has just changed yesterday and since the beginning of 2016 will not characterize vehicles that are electric, they move at speeds below 20 km / h and carry only 1 person. They will be able to move freely on bicycle routes, but the driver should wear a helmet and not be drunk. !!!
We are curious to see what will happen to the Greece when they will also come to the Greek streets. We're guessing that our sleds here probably won't care and won't even bother to rank them somewhere.
IGuRu.gr spoke with importers and the first is expected very soon.
