    <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>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.
        <br>
        <br>

        Aparently no.

      <br>
      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.
