    So where can you, legally, ride this.

    • leTintin on 12/01/2017 - 16:40

      Not SA: Q. Can I ride a motorised wheeled recreational device on a road, footpath or bike track?
      A. No. These devices cannot be used on roads or road related areas such as foot paths, bike/pedestrian tracks, or vehicle parking areas.

        :( makes it totally useless. My workplace is roughly 30 minutes away and been wanting to pick up an electric scooter or the 2 wheel "hoverboards".

        All of them are illegal to use in VIC. Makes me so sad. I could have easily make my travel time 1/3.

        • turbodude on 12/01/2017 - 18:14

          bike?

        • Letrico on 12/01/2017 - 18:16

          @turbodude: Too bulky no space for it.

          @Letrico: longboard?

          Realistically though, will you get picked up? If it's peak hour traffic I find it highly unlikely that police will either actually bother to respond to a report of an "illegal electric scooter" or be able to locate and detain you. LEA resources in Melbourne are strained to the limit what with the ice epidemic and the Africans, I daresay you'd get away with it - most people would be more likely to be curious or fascinated seeing you whiz by on one.

        • Gavman on 12/01/2017 - 22:53

          looks like a normal scooter. see people riding all kinds of motorised bikes/scooter on footpaths and roads. Ud be stiff to get done riding one

      Not the same but cheap sure

        Looks better

    • Product RepPC Market @ PCMarket on 13/01/2017 - 10:12

      Different scooter, we had one very similar called the G-Force Carbon but is currently out of stock.

    I'm waiting for the Xiaomi one to arrive. Let me know when that happens..

      is it legal to ride this in sydney?

      • bchliu on 12/01/2017 - 21:59

        Probably not.. but the Xiaomi scooter is so light on that it doesnt even look like it has a motor on it and much harder to spot (looks like a high end Razor). I also really like their e-bikes too and wanted to import one in for ages (those are within legals being under 250W from memory).

    These can't be used anywhere except on private property in NSW. OP, do you explain this to NSW buyers?
    There was recently some kids and their dad illegally riding a similar scooter at my local park, close to where my 2yo was playing. Kids at that age are unpredictable. Even at low speed, if one of these were to hit a young child, the result could be devastating.
    Needless to say, when the kids and their dad continued to ride despite my asking them to move further away, I and several other parents called the police. The dad was very embarrassed when the cops told the dad off in front of his kids and forced forced him to walk the scooter home.

      "Even at low speed, if" a car "were to hit a young child, the result could be devastating." Let's make cars illegal.

        Cars can only be sold to people who sat and passed a driver's licence, have to be registered and insured in case they hurt someone, have to comply with the road rules and can't be ridden in public parks.
        Unfortunately, too many motorised scooter owners realise that it is unsafe to ride them on the road and instead ride them in parks, along footpaths etc and think that because they're not on the road, there are no rules and they can do what they want.
        If you agree that these scooters should only be ridden on the road by licenced riders, have compulsory CTP/Green slip insurance and be subject to all of the other requirements of motorised vehicles, that's a different matter.
        My gripe is with retailers that sell these to unsuspecting buyers by implying that they are legal just so that they can get a sale without taking responsibility for encouraging responsible use.

          i can ride my bike in the local park… no license, no test, capable of significantly higher speeds…….

        • bchliu on 12/01/2017 - 22:05

          +1 on the bike analogy. A bike can go up to 50-60km/h with the proper rider and can cause much greater damage due to its size and shape. Even a child can ride a bike at 20-30km per hour. How about banning those too?
          If you are that overprotective, then maybe you shouldnt take them outdoors in case they accidentally hurt themselves? Or God forbid, fall off a swing or something? Are you one that sues public liability when that happens too?

    • fefris on 12/01/2017 - 20:32

      you realize that you can also get to some greater than "low speeds" without a motor on a scooter…. grab a box and wrap you kids up in it, then they will be safe from everything.

      Stupid law given how much commute time these could save, and also the decreased car load on the streets…..

    6. State any relevant terms & conditions, such as expiry date and any “hidden catches”.

    Product Rep knowingly conceals from fellow OzBargain members this product's use in NSW is illegal outside private property. Apparently we are expected to pay the money and discover that later.

    • jackspratt on 12/01/2017 - 20:18

      Pretty clear "Safety Warnings" on the linked page for the deal.

      People would normally look at that, before buying, wouldn't they?

      • PJC on 12/01/2017 - 21:01

        Product Rep OP omits that from his description.

    • fefris on 12/01/2017 - 20:33

      clearly stated on the first page they have linked. Very clear.

      • PJC on 13/01/2017 - 10:50

        Clearly omitted from the description. OP knows why.

  • Brucet on 12/01/2017 - 21:47
