tonyv Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Does anyone know the legal nicities of operating a Segway in rural France? Does it need to be registered/insured? Pavement or highway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyv Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 Thanks, Sid; that link is really useful.Unusually, it seems that the French authorities are more relaxed than the Brits on this matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loiseau Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I went on a Segway expedition in the centre of Lille a few years ago, booked through the tourist office. We started off around the wide boulevards (on the pavements) and going through a park on the paths, and finished up - having got more proficient - weaving through the busy pedestrianised main squares. As far as I remember, we were on/in pedestrian areas all the time rather than roads.Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sid Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 They have guided tours in Amboise too. I imagine that that tour company insures against third party risks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
