Are self-balancing mini scooters banned from footpaths? If so, why are mobility vehicles allowed? Key questions answered.

Quite a lot, though this is mainly dependent on the observational powers of your local police. While it’s not unknown to see such self-balancing mini scooters on the pavement, under legal guidance reiterated on Monday by the Crown Prosecution Service all such “personal transporters”, including hoverboards and Segways, are banned from the footpath.
