    The legal and regulatory challenges of electric hoverboards
    Hoverboards are the latest must-have gadget, but they've also been the subject of much controversy. There are many legal and regulatory challenges that need to be considered when it comes to electric hoverboards.

    In the UK, the government has classified hoverboards as "personal transport devices" and has said that they can be used on public roads and pavements. However, there are some restrictions in place. For example, riders must be over the age of 14 and must not ride on roads with a speed limit of more than 30mph.

    There are also concerns about the safety of hoverboards. In the US, there have been reports of hoverboards catching fire and causing injuries. As a result, some retailers have stopped selling them and airlines have banned them from being carried on board.

    It's clear that there are many legal and regulatory challenges that need to be considered when it comes to electric hoverboards. However, these challenges should not deter people from enjoying this new form of personal transport.
