Aluminum Two Wheel Pedal Skateboard Decription

When driving an Aluminum Two Wheel Pedal Skateboard , you should use a bike path or bike lane, and you should give way to pedestrians on a bicycle and on a pedestrian path.

Limitations: driving an Aluminum Pedal Skateboard requires permissions and they might be the following: a bike license/ permit (remember those) in the case of underage individuals, a driving license of the following categories: Pedal Kick Scooter  - for individuals younger than 18 years old. Kiddos younger than 10 are not allowed (they'd better not be!) to drive an Sport Pedal Kick Scooter or a personal transport device on a road, with the exception being: within a residential area under the supervision of an adult.

Roads that can be used to travel on with the use of an Aluminum Pedal Skateboard :

a bike lane or a Aluminum Pedal Skateboard path - if they are designated for the direction in which it will be moving or intends to turn

a road on which vehicle traffic is allowed at a speed of no more than 15 km/h, and where there is no separate bike path or lane- at a speed greater than 15 km/h and if there is no separate bike path/ lane

a sidewalk or a designated pedestrian way; exceptionally when the sidewalk is situated along the road, on which the speed of other vehicles is permitted up to 15km/h and where there is no separate bike path/ lane

Individuals braking on an Stunt Kick Scooter must not:

exceed the speed of 15 km/h

haul and tow another vehicle

transport another person, an animal or cargo

Devices for personal transport

When driving a so- called device for personal transport (no cute acronym here, sorry!) e.g. using an electric skateboard, you should use a Stunt Kick Scooter path, and when using a Stunt Kick Scooter and pedestrian path, you should give way to pedestrians.

Limitations: just like in the case of electric scooters, driving "a device for personal transport", for instance an electric skateboard, requires qualifications such as a bicycle permit/ license for those underage or a driving license of the following categories AM, A1, B1 or T. Kids under the age of 10 are not allowed to drive (clearly!) "a personal transport device", with the exception residential area and when accompanied by an adult.

Roads that can be used when driving a "personal transport device":

a bike lane: if it is designated for the direction in which it will be moving or intends to turn

a sidewalk and/or a designated pedestrian path: allowed but only when when there is no separate Pedal Kick Scooter path

When driving "a personal transport device" you must not:

move faster than 15 km/h

haul or tow another vehicle

transport another person, animal or cargo

cling to other vehicles

Parking your scooter

No more abandoned scooters on the sidewalks! Yay to that!

The Act introduces the obligation to leave e.g. an electric scooter on the sidewalk in a designated place only. If there is no such space, when parking, pay attention to the following:

whether your Pedal Kick Scooter is positioned as close as possible to the outer edge of the sidewalk, as far away from the road as possible

whether the Pedal Kick Scooter is positioned parallel to the edge of the sidewalk

whether the width of the sidewalk left for pedestrians is such that it will not hinder their traffic and is not less than 1.5 m

No more lawlessness: no more annoying mess! Less accidents!

Electric scooters or "personal transport devices" may be removed from the road at the expense of the owner, for instance in the case of leaving them in a place where it is not allowed and/ or when it obstructs movement and/or or might threaten safety of others. Both the police and city patrol may have the vehicle removed.

Now you know how moving around on an electric scooter differs from a traditional one, what rules and regulations you must keep in mind while rollerskating or when riding an electric skateboard. Hopefully we have kept you safe… from accidents and fines!
