Seems you can't go to a single VW show without seeing one of these buggers.

Confirmed as not legal for use on the pavement in the UK.
Hopefully it will stop the selection of "sweg" teens from zooming about on the streets
What happened to good old fashioned walking.
Maybe I am too old.

Laugh. I read this and thought "what a bunch of killjoy ban-everything wkers. Still, I bet PH will be pleased" and lo and behold...
What problems do they actually cause that they are worth banning them for? As I read elsewhere today, "If these wkers were in charge years ago, we'd still be riding horses".

exactly, they don't cause any major problems that I can see, slower than the typical cyclist riding on the pavement !
maybe limit the speed, but that's about it
Worse than that, if you're broadly pro the banning of things, you need to accept that you won't have much of a leg to stand on when whatever your hobby is comes under fire. Motorsport, big engines etc.maybe limit the speed, but that's about it

Surely just the next fad that will come and go within a few months? not really the future of personal transport?
Yeah, I'm trying to figure out the point. Let's pretend we live in a country where they're not banned.They don't move very fast. Walking pace? I suppose it's because it saves on walking. But how far can they travel before you have to carry a large lump of plastic?
