Really good price and tempted but still scared of getting fined =(
So I tell myself hopefully by the time the pro version is available to Aus, the laws may change.
Just change the default password for the Bluetooth
You didn't read the article did you.
Is it illegal to ride these in NSW?
It should be illegal to keep asking this question every time a motorized scooter deal is posted.
ive never owned one so dont know the law
in NSW: "Powered foot scooters and skateboards cannot be registered and can only be used on private land"
next time a electric scooter deal comes up, auto description should be "ONLY LEGAL IN QLD"
to be honest, im not looking forward for these being made legal unless its only on the road, not foot path (which no doubt people will do).
The Xiaomi is a bit above the power limit, but it appears to be legal to ride electric scooters in Tasmania. https://www.transport.tas.gov.au/?a=109502
That document suggests anything over 200 watts is illegal.
it looks like it is possible to limit the max power and max speed in the firmware, possibly making this scooter legal in tasmania and victoria.
also, the 250W rated power might be exaggerated by xiaomi. chuck it on a dyno, and the actual output might be less than 200W.
These things proce are dropping like flies
Probably because so few people can legally ride them.
They are big in US and Europe. I have absolutely no clue why the legality of them in Australia would have any affect on the price from an international website
I have one and ride it everyday in Sydney. Never had an issue with the law even going past police.
One time I did have a cop ask me if it was motorised and I said yep but I'm just using it manually like a normal scooter and he walked away
The law is like jaywalking - nobody really cares
Got mine last week and love it, it's got a great build quality and is really portable, I really hope other states make it legal soon.
