<p>I know a guy who got a "segway" wheelchair. The acceleration is
impressive.<br>
("autobalancing device or <b>similar technical equipment</b>")<br>
Think if this would become usual (like electric cars do),<br>
there might also be restrictions of usage (speed),<br>
similar to the Pedelec example.</p>
<p>In Germany, law includes the term "maximum speed depending on the
type of construction".<br>
Means it might be forbidden if there's only the possibility you
could go faster.<br>
<br>
This one is "generally forbidden" in Germany as it's faster than 6
km/h (counts as "motor vehicle")<br>
and therefore forbidden on sidewalks and bicycle lanes. <br>
For street usage, the technical specification is currently
missing.<br>

</p>
<p>Perhaps <br>
autobalancing:segway=*<br>
autobalancing:hoverboard=*<br>
autobalancing:unicycle=*<br>
autobalancing:wheelchair=*<br>
</p>
<p>(leaves the possibility to extend it if needed) ?<br>
</p>
<p>Here's an overview of restrictions by country depending on the
type of way :<br>

<p>But I don't think that in the near future <br>
there will be a countrywide regulation for those auto-balancing
devices<br>
for many countries (as technical development is faster than the
government's rule definition).</p>

Nope, they do not have that autobalancing device.

Aparently no.

Those two contradict. If it is self balancing it needs a motor.
<br>
<br>
Maybe interesting in this context: Most countries in the EU treat
Pedelecs (Pedal-Electric-Cycles) as bicycles, even though they
have a motor assistance up to 25km/h. Only when there is
assistance over 25km/h they fall in the category of motorized
vehicles.
