Hi,
It is a new law. There has been a lot in the news https://www.hln.be/nieuws/binnenland/segway-en-hoverboard-mogen-voortaan-25-km-u~a392b5a3/ https://monowheels.be/blog/2018/04/21/monowheel-wetgeving-belgie-update-2018-25kmu/

That’s great news! Thank you for the update!
That’s so ill informed & poorly researched it’s laughable, edited like a poor man’s Casey video & I’d call it that too, except for the fact that it would be an insult to all the B-Casey’s worldwide.
The law is very clear on Ireland, motorised vehicles must be taxed and insured with some exceptions- pedal assisted ebikes with no throttle and max power output, Segway under special provisions.
So what is actually happening is this geezer is targeting people in their official capacity to outline the law, the fact remains that if you want to register any non-mass produced vehicle for the road in Ireland then you must go through the single vehicle registration process, it’s very onerous and expensive.
If the vehicle is signed off as being road worthy then it will be entered in the revenue system at which point a low level official as quoted by said geezer can take some €€€ and issue a registration certificate. This also allows for a motor tax certificate to be purchased and displayed on the vehicle.
There is a question of having a competency licence, but no need to worry it’s not classified under anything so perfectly legal to ride without any licence…but and this is the huge but
It doesn’t stop there, at this point you need insurance and there is no insurance company who are willing to cover these they will laugh at you.
What the police(guards in Ireland) are doing is turning a blind eye when they approve or how the rider is using the esk8 and probably stopping those who they disapprove of, in regards to speed, safety, consideration to others and choice of location.
Eventually the scrotes will ruin this blind eye approach when too many of them clog up the head injuries ward without medical insurance or take out innocent bystanders

Hi Banjaxxed! Thanks for appointing! What would be the conclusion of your statement? Is it legal, or not, to ride an esk8 at Ireland? Would love to add the source! Thanks in advance.
It’s not legal
Okay! Can you add a source for that?
I’d rather you do the ground work if you dont have enough above
Up till today it is still illegal in NL. Source from gov website i checked yesterday (forgot the link).

It appears to be illegal, like you’ve said. Thank you for the contribution. I’ll change my post. My appologies for the negligence.
Yep, as an Amsterdam citizen i hate the fact that i have to travel to Belgium (out of all places) to ride my eSk8!
Little bit of topic but I was in Amsterdam last week and saw two guys carrying the new Boosted Board stealths on their backpacks while riding the older BB V2:s 
They’re being used, but the risk of a + €900,- fine is not worth ‘the fun’ of riding from home - university.
That minister Bellot is a real prince. He’s got my vote !

Go Skateboarding Day (GSD) is an official annual holiday conceived by the International Association of Skateboard Companies (IASC) to promote skateboarding. The holiday was started in California by Don Brown and is held on June 21 due to the fact that the day is the longest day of summer. The holiday was conceived in 2004 by the International Association of Skateboard Companies (IASC) to help make skateboarding more accessible to the world through various events held in major cities around the world. In 2006, more than 350 events took place in 32 countries around the world, and, the following year, the IASC received Special Congressional Recognition from US Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez for its work in promoting the sport of skateboarding and encouraging young people to get outside and enjoy the sport.[1]
