@trbt555 & @jeroenimo Okay The RDW has replied me and I believe there is some future around this.
In late 2010, the Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment in the Road Traffic Law 1994 in Article 20b a new category introduced special mopeds. These include to Segway-like vehicles. For this, no European approval shall be required. (Staatsblad (Official Gazette), No. 744). In the Netherlands these vehicles can not be registered. The Minister pointed these vehicles.
What is a special moped?
Special moped: moped as defined in Article 1, first paragraph, section e, under d of the Law for which an application for designation under Article 20b of the Law has been submitted to the Minister;
This is Article 1, first paragraph, section e under d of the law.

Article 20b (Google Translation in English)
- Prior to admission to the traffic on the road Our Minister may a motor vehicle with a maximum design speed not exceeding 25 km / h, equipped with an internal combustion engine with a cylinder capacity not exceeding 50 cm 3 or an electric motor with a maximum continuous rated power does not exceed 4 kW, not being a disabled vehicle, designate a type or individual on the grounds of his safety if:
- a. the authorization corresponds to in [Article 2, paragraphs a and b, second paragraph and third paragraph, subparagraph a , above purposes;][1] and
- b. there been realized rules is required for this vehicle is not in accordance with a type approval in the framework of the European Union.
- A ministerial regulation further rules may be adopted concerning the designation.
The manufacturer of such special mopeds may report it to the Ministry. The address is:
Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment
Management Roads and Traffic Safety
Contact: Hans de Leeuw
PO Box 20 901
25 400 EX Hague
e-mail: [email protected].
The admission process consists of two main parts:
security screening. There will be investigated regarding the way of riding can participate safely in the vehicle in traffic;
an investigation by the RDW vehicle technical aspects. The RDW investigates whether the vehicle satisfies the standing requirements for such mopeds, such as (from January 1, 2012) in the Vehicle Regulations included.
The RDW has decided to focus the assessment of such special mopeds on the testing station in Waddinxveen. The testing makes the assessment a test report. This will be sent to the Ministry.
A special moped will not be registered. On the basis of the results of both studies the minister’s decision to operate if the vehicle is be appointed or not.
Then theres this special info:
Use of a special moped
For more information on the use of particular mopeds I refer you to the website of the Ministry infrastructure and the environment, see:http://www.rijksoverheid.nl/onderwerpen/bromfiets/vraag-en-antwoord/welke-regels-gelden-er-voor-een-segway.html.
Chassis number
A vehicle of the category "special moped 'must bear a VIN. The vehicle manufacturer may apply for a WIM code, for more information, I refer you to our website, see: https://www.rdw.nl/sites/tgk/Paginas/WMI-code-voor-(nieuwe)- voertuigfabrikanten.aspx. The RDW has decided not to store chassis numbers in a special moped. This is because the often small vehicles have a special (vulnerable) material. Our equipment is not designed to provide specific mopeds with a correct VIN.
Correct me if I am wrong:
I have the feeling from this email it seems that the category of special mopeds is already allowed without the needs of vehicle registration as the ministry has released a regulation for Segway like vehicle. The category for segway like vehicle according to the Article 20b for electric drive is
electric motor with a maximum continuous rated power does not exceed 4 kW
where our Turnigy SK3 motor 200Kv’ish is rated around 2500 Watt which is below the 4kW rating.
And I believe the next step would be finishing my eboard and go to testing station in Waddinxveen.
