Are Hoverboards legal to ride on public roads?

Hoverboards are generally not legal to ride on public roads. While hoverboards are a popular mode of personal transportation, they are typically considered self-balancing scooters and fall under the same regulations as electric scooters or bikes. Most states and countries classify hoverboards as motor vehicles, requiring them to meet specific safety standards and be registered for road use. However, hoverboards often lack the necessary features such as lights, turn signals, and safety equipment to comply with legal requirements. Additionally, public roads are typically reserved for vehicles that meet specific speed and power limits. It is important to check your local laws and regulations regarding hoverboard use, as some areas may have specific rules for their usage on designated lanes or sidewalks. Always prioritize your safety and comply with local laws while using a hoverboard.
