  • legal in VIC?

        As a Queenslander who has had to put up with these death traps for years, VIC will regret opening the flood gates to these pieces of shit.

        • They still have the option of yeahnah'ing after the trial ends if people start going around cracking open their noggins or all start requiring emergency dental en masse.

          • +5

            @Namidairo: Won’t happen.

            Politicians will be lobbied to ignore the injuries just like here in QLD.

            • -1

              @PainToad: The only safe place to use these is Canberra.

              Footpaths and roads are nearly always empty…

            • @PainToad: For me it boils down to how many people are hurting themselves vs others. People should be allowed to hurt themselves…

              • +4

                @drprox: They’re injuring themselves and others.

                But no, people shouldn’t be allowed to injure themselves, because they then want tax payers to fund their treatment or in the case of a brain injury their care for the rest of their lives.

          • @Namidairo: NGL, when I worked out in Brissie burbs, I never saw any e-scooter related trauma cases. I'm hazarding my colleagues in the CBD saw them all… Reckon I should start advertising for e-scooter mouthguards?

        • -1

          Unlike cars which of course cause no injuries or death

          • +3

            @rickdwp: Cars:
            1) Require a license, which you don’t get without a lot of training.
            2) Drivers must have Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance to cover injuries drivers cause to others.
            3) Cars have license plates so law enforcement can easily identify people breaking the law so they can be punished and/or removed from the road.

            • @PainToad: Exactly. Ebike rider ran up my arse - guess who had to pay for repairs?

      • -1

        From tomorrow, yes.

        Only in the trial areas or everywhere ?

      • Weird rule about how the E-Scooter can't be powerful enough to go more than 25km, making many of them illegal even if they are speed limited.

        Mine can do 50km/hr but I have it speed limited. I need to extra power to get my fat ass up hills, it's not about going fast.

  • What's your personal scooter @Clear?

    • +9

      Dragon Lightning V2 is my usual driver due to the longer range and the heap of offroad riding I do in my free time. Looking to upgrade.

      I own a Xiaomi Pro 2 and a few other more commuter friendly scooters that I still use. Like the Segway's they're far more portable and easy enough to fold up into the back of the car or my office.

      • +1

        Now that's a scooter haha. 80kmh down the paths would get me to work a bit quicker than driving I reckon

      • Max speed 80km/hr unlocked

        And here I was thinking I was the fastest on the bike track.
        No wonder I've never seen you around.

        Any tips for clothing going that speed during winter?

        • Need a steering dampener for those speeds. A motorcycle jacket is enough since it provides the protection and warmth.

        • +6

          A decent helmet and make sure your health insurance is paid up

      • Do you find the Pro 2 and the ones you posted underpowered?

        I live in a fairly hilly area in melbourne (steep hill in google maps ~50m incline) and im afraid these typical commuter scooters arent able to climb the hills.

        I reckon maybe i need at least a 800w or 1000w rated motor scooter.

        • For the steeper hills you'll certainly struggle and need the higher power to get up there the whole way if you don't want to peddle a bit.

      • -1

        Dragon Lightning V2

        Definitely illegal in Vic

        • And speeding is a criminal offence in Tas. Unlike other states :(

          • -1

            @Clear:

            And speeding is a criminal offence in Tas

            How many people are serving a sentence at Port Arthur for speeding on an e-scooter?

          • -1

            @Clear: Is a 4000 Watt e-scooter legal to ride in Tassie on public roads?

      • Thoughts about Dragon GTR/GTR v2? Somewhat affordable but reviews aren't great.

  • +1

    NSW is so behind and so conservative

  • I've had a scooter since 2020. Fantastic that it's legal now!!!!

    Edit: what stupid rules

    you ride on shared-use paths and roads up to and including 60km/h

    you ride up to a maximum speed to 20km/h

    it’s not a high-speed e-scooter – capable of more than 25km/h (this is considered an unregistered vehicle and penalties apply)

    Most escooter go over 25km/h right?

    • +3

      Aside from the more expensive scooters, commuter scooters and entry level scooters don't usually go over 25km/h. Some will go upto 30km/h.

      • Oh okay, fair enough. Do you know what they mean by "shared used path"? I've always used footpaths but haven't been stupid or close to an accident. I occasionally go on the road and when I see a car coming, I'd go to the footpath because it's pretty ridiculous to go 20 in a 60 zone!!!

        • +2

          I've always used footpaths

          Which has always been illegal.

          The police near us pretty much always pull over e-scooters that ride on footpaths…

          • @jv: police don't dgaf about it where i live.

        • +1

          what they mean by "shared used path"

          The ones designated for bikes and pedestrians.

          Bikes are not allowed on footpaths either unless you are under 12yo…

        • +1

          it's pretty ridiculous to go 20 in a 60 zone!!!

          Not if you stay in the bike lane.

          How do you think bike riders do that???

          • +2

            @jv: Not all roads will have bike lanes.
            There's a road near my place that's 60kms, going downhill and uphill. But it's a steep uphill climb.
            Most cyclist end up going on the footpath uphill as they were going up like 10kmh vs 60kmh cars trying to miss them by the hair when they were on the road.

            Going 20kms on a 60kms zone on the road (without bike lanes/shared paths) is just asking for it.

            • -1

              @iamtezr:

              Going 20kms on a 60kms zone on the road (without bike lanes/shared paths) is just asking for it.

              Take a different road then.

              Why ride illegally ?

            • @iamtezr: Spot on. Exactly my thoughts over the years. I don't live in the CBD so there's not many bike lanes

  • How are these things with hills? Got some crazy hills in my area

    • +1

      Depends on the torque they generate.

      Many will show you what the max. incline is that they recommend.

      (Also, depends on how much you weigh…)

      • How to find out the incline of the hills in my area? I dont think google maps shows this type of info.

    • +1

      Also depends on how fat you are.

      • Some small framed fat people may not weigh much…

  • The rule says never on foot path!???!!? What you can't ride on foot path?

    • +4

      What you can't ride on foot path?

      Nope, just like you can't ride a bike on the footpath.

      It is and always has been illegal.

      • You can in Adelaide. I'm Victoria, looks like you only can if you're 13, or if you're an adult with a child passenger on your bike.

        Don't know about the other states.

        • All good in WA, can e-scoot at 10kmh on footpaths, 25kmh on dual-use paths, cycle paths and local roads (I.e, those with 50kmh limit).

          Bikes (non-electric) can use all footpaths unless explicitly forbidden by signage.

  • Melb is the chosen city

  • Can't recommend this seller. Had issues with an item, which was sent in for repair and came back and was again non-functional. They have insisted I send it in again… and this debacle is yet to be concluded.

  • +1

    Tried checking out with AfterPay but kept getting an error message.

  • G65 shows a max speed of 30, which is still illegal to use on Vic public roads.

    • where do you see the G65 max speed of 30?

      • -1

        Max speed: 18.6 mph

        • +2

          Yes, but the Aus serial number on these has a limiter - max 25kmps

          • @cheersvb: Is that the case for all the Segways?

            • +2

              @jv: Yep all the Segway models sold through official Segway Australia channels are the EU models with a 25km/h restriction.

        • I think you know the answer to that? Didn't your logic radar beep when you saw "mph", It clearly states "25kph" 3 times in the ad.
          Yet you went to the effort to point it out here even though you knew the answer.
          It's even written 4 times above, one time for each scooter "25kph"!

  • +1

    Someone should create cheaper electric bikes. Standing for 65km is really tiring tbh.

  • any idea when XiaoMi Scooter 4 Ultra/Navee S65 design will become readily available and for decent price? Looking for sth with good double suspension.

  • Good news for Victorians, as of 5th April 2023 Victoria's electric scooter laws have gone from this 10kph maximum speed, maximum motor size 200W to this, max speed 20kph and any scooter as long as it's locked to a maximum of 25kph. This comes along with the usual caveats, must wear helmet, obey laws, don't tether an animal to the e-scooter, no dinking no drinking, no chatting on your mobile, at least 16YO. Basically, don't be a di*#khead!! As the article states this is a trial, but will the Victorian government be prepared to ban scooters again if the trial does not go well. Especially after tens of thousands of people buy them believing the laws have now made their scooter purchase legal.

    Another bogan method of transport with no Police enforcement of the rules…..

    • Don't be so hard on yourself. Being a bogan is your choice and we can help you change.
