    The easiest way to check the product you have is UK compliant to CE standards it to check it has a rating plate with the model number and CE stamp on it (see the photo below). If it does not have a CE rating plate, the board is not CE compliant, therefore not being safe.

    Can I ride my hoverboard or Scooter on the pavement?

    Please take time to check your local and national laws regarding self-balancing board use in public areas as this varies from country to country.
    UK LAW: It's not currently possible to get insurance for privately owned e-scooters, which means it's illegal to use them on the road or in public spaces. If you're using a private e-scooter you risk the vehicle being seized under S. 165 Road Traffic Act 1988 for no insurance.
    Currently for use on Private land or at your own risk. 

    Most of our E-Bikes are Road Legal and can be insured, Electric Bikes as classified as EAPC (Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycles) are legal, but the rider must be over 14 years old and wear a helmet, and they can't be ridden where regular bicycles are not allowed.
