Not that this helps OP in slightest (just making conversation) but I'm surprised anyone still wanted to buy these knowing that they can't ride them on pavements or roads. Basically limits most people to their gardens (if they have one).

By the letter of the law yes, but I haven't seen this deter anyone from using them on the pavement and there doesn't seem to be any interest by the authorities to enforce it.

All the talk is about potential fire hazards with knock off or cheap boards.

No the police have enforced it and will continue to do so as they are classed as illegal on the roads and public areas.


Just because there are no special hover board police hit squads out there doesn't mean they won't act if they are seen riding them in public.


They are essentially useless unless you have a very big house or garden to potter about in.

I read there's been one prosecution, and that was because he was using one as a getaway vehicle after thieving something!

They may pay an interest if it was involved in some other incident, e.g. if you injured someone, but I think the chances of anything beyond a "please don't ride that here" if they were bored, are practically nil.

Could be costly of the police/CPS decided to prosecute - could you be done for not having insurance, which which would be 6 points on your licence and a £200 (our is it £250?) fine????

I don't disagree that they "could be" illegal but as far as I'm aware the use of them has yet to be tested in court and I've not seen or heard of any occasion where the police, in my area at least, have done anything about them. In fact, all indicators suggest that sales have increased since the CPS issued their guidance, so again hardly a deterrent.

Tbh, I've yet to see even one person on them. I was expecting loads of people to be going around on them so I've been kind of surprised not to see any yet.

I imagine that they would prosecute though - as they used to prosecute those on the electric scooters or the mini motorbikes/cars. Police around here seem more interested in motoring offences than petty crime though.

What motoring offences do you believe the police should turn a blind eye to then?
