What may look like miniature electric cars zipping through city streets are actually enclosed mobility scooters — and they’re not allowed to be there. The North Bay Police Service is now cracking down with fines.

I’ve seen several of these around, on roads. And to be honest, if I had to replace my car, it might be for one of these!

But what the hell? They are ONLY allowed on sidewalks, which IMO, they really shouldn’t be. And are NOT allowed on roads because they are classified as “pedestrians”?

We need new laws to accomodate and encourage the adoption of “mini cars” as car alternatives within urban and sububan travel…

    Saw someone weaving in and out of traffic on a unicycle doing 50mph. So that happened.

      LOL. I don’t think most places even have a legal designation for EUCs, so “anything goes!” 😱
