To be honest it's a shame they can't find some compromise to allow this type of new tech in a safe way here, We do seem to be a bit killjoy in the UK, even kids of 3 or 4 years of age was once being pulled up for riding their electric 2 mph toy cars or motor bikes on the kerb, even though the parents were in control.

No worse than "heelies" or Rollies" when they were in fashion.
. Nothing like Paul Blaart.

I bet if roller skates had never been invented and they were now, 'we' would find some reason to ban them. "The potential for serious injury, including broken bones, is clear, and children could easily lose control and run into traffic," said a spokesman

I saw a Jehovahs Witness wizzing round on one handing out leaflets to people. Does it get any more menacing than that?

If cycling was invented today, we'd probably be restricted to velodromes.

Here for rides.
Hoverboards all the rage with the blonde haired middle-class yoof of cph. Segway tours are very common sight.
But the mindset here seems to be if you want to hurt or kill yourself on the latest craze the mother state won't stop you but will be here to pick up the pieces. Small rich relatively heavily taxed country I guess.

In the centre of London, where the streets are narrow, the crowds are huge, people walk about staring into their phones, walking into roads with headphones on, no-parking stumps making the already narrow sidewalks narrower (along with parking metres, parking sign posts, shop advert bill boards), cracked pavements, and people going for a lunch time jog,meandering in and out of peoples ways, nodoubt cursing them as they run... Now we're saying kids can't enjoy a little fun?
On my commute to work, I see someone using a segway to get to work. No doubt he thinks the traffic isn't moving anywhere, the subway is an overcrowded armpit sniffing joke, the buses are stuck in aforementioned traffic.
Sometimes I wish the law wasn't so restrictive and allow the progress of society to continue at a slightly faster pace. I guess it might be due to a safety issue, but in the grand scheme of things, I can't see why segway-like devices are considered a problem.

I have been to two US airports where the police use them to get around the terminal building. If my first inclination was to laugh, I restrained myself in front of the burly, six foot something, heavily armed Baltimore cop.

You must always wear a helmet........and other protection.
Lol, I've not bought a newspaper for years, I can read most of the news online, and it's more up to date.
