Do You Need a License to Ride an Electric Skateboard ? The short answer is usually no , but it depends entirely on where you live and the power of your board. In most parts of the United States and Canada, electric skateboards are treated similarly to bicycles or electric scooters, meaning you don’t need a driver’s license, insurance, or registration. However, some regions (like California or parts of Europe) have specific rules that might surprise you. The Legal Landscape of 2026: Do You Need a License? 1. The United States: A State-by-State Patchwork In the U.S., there is no federal law for electric skateboards . Instead, each state makes its own rules. Most States: No license is required. You are generally free to ride in bike lanes and on streets with low speed limits (usually under 35 mph). The Exceptions: A few states, such as California, Alabama, and Massachusetts , technically require riders to possess a valid driver’s license or learner’s permit to operate any motorized vehicle on public roads, including “electrically motorized boards.” Age Limits: Many states require riders to be at least 16 years old . 2. The United Kingdom: The “Private Property” Rule The UK has some of the strictest laws in the world. As of 2026, it is still technically illegal to ride a privately owned electric skateboard on public roads, pavements (sidewalks), or cycle lanes. Because they are classified as “personal light electric vehicles,” they would legally require tax, insurance, and a license—but because they lack signals and brake lights, they cannot be registered. The Reality: You can only legally ride them on private land with the owner’s permission. 3. Canada and Australia Canada: Most provinces, like Ontario and BC, treat them like e-bikes. You don’t need a license, but you must be 16+ and wear a helmet. Australia: Rules vary by state. In Queensland, they are legal on paths and local streets without a license. In New South Wales, regulations are tighter, often restricting them to private property unless part of a specific trial. When a License Might Be Required Even in “friendly” areas, you might cross into legal trouble if your board is too fast. The Speed Threshold: Many jurisdictions draw the line at 20 mph (32 km/h) . If your board can exceed this speed, it may be reclassified as a “moped” or “motorcycle,” which does require a license, registration, and insurance. Motor Wattage: Some areas limit motor power to 750W or 1000W . Boards exceeding this may be seized if ridden on public paths. Essential “Stay Legal” Checklist Before you head out, check these three things to avoid a ticket: Helmet Laws: Even if a license isn’t required, a helmet almost always is (especially for those under 18). Night Riding: Most laws require a white front light and a red rear reflector/light if you are riding after sunset. Sidewalk vs. Road: Many cities have banned “motorized” travel on sidewalks to protect pedestrians. Please feel free to stick to the bike lanes whenever possible. Pro Tip: If you are stopped by a police officer, be polite. In many areas, the laws are so new that even officers are unclear on the specifics. Having a copy of your local “micromobility” or “e-bike” statutes saved on your phone can be a lifesaver. Also read: Hub Motor vs. Belt Drive: Which is Better for Electric Skateboards?
Chess World Accuses Company of Inventing Fake Employees Using Online Human Generator
Regium boasted an automated chess e-Board that is internet connected allowing for seamless physical competition with players in different locations. Their Kickstarter campaign was suspended after multiple online chess communities identified it as a hoax (altho funding likely will be procured elsewhere). In addition to claims of the demonstration video being doctored, the prominent chess communities identified members of the ‘development team’ as AI generated photos using thispersondoesnotexist.com . It’s pretty rare for a funding scam to cross into the chess world. In what can be highly competitive or casual, more often the game is marred by cheating scandals . Due to this, they USCF has taken steps to ban technology from tournaments, with the majority of cheaters resorting to consulting their phones while in the bathroom. UPDATE: Igor Rausis - banned chess cheater in toilets, makes a comeback under an alias - and is caught.
Through my site these are kind of expensive for a kids toy but I have a kids price available to those who message me and it’s around the cost of a big ticket birthday gift. But I can’t share online what it is because it’ll piss off all my past adult buyers. #eboards #eskateboards #8yearold #11yearold #present #gift #birthday #birthdaypresent #kidsgiftidea (or buy through my site on my profile if you don’t hear back from me) *adult supervision and helmets required and use at your own risk.

Learning How to Fall
Learning How to Fall I’ve been falling. I’ve been watching other people fall. I’ve been hearing about other people falling. And it’s not even Fall! (Enjoy the pun!) For those of you that don’t know yet, in a preemptive measure to try to prepare for a midlife crisis I have reverted back to my 14-15 year-old self and started skateboarding again. This is where most people roll their eyes and immediately begin asking me… View On WordPress
