Electric unicycle on roads: Contested — the sources disagree

Two readings of California law give opposite answers, and no court has picked one. Plan around the stricter: a wheel that fails the state’s narrow “board” definition is a motor vehicle that cannot be registered, and an unregistered motor vehicle may not be driven on a public street.

Inherited from California — a city rides under its state's rules until it writes its own.

Verified in a browser by steward jesse on September 6, 2026 — a verdict here is earned, never assumed.

Every speed has its place. Every place has its speed.

PEVRA’s position is simple: electric unicycles co-exist safely with pedestrians, bikes and cars — riding at the speed each space calls for, welcome on every kind of infrastructure.

So far the record holds 16 places and 280 researched rule rows — and 35 verified by a human.

Every row starts unresearched and becomes a verdict only when a named steward verifies the source in a browser. That is why the zero is honest — and why the first verified rows will mean something. The record’s every change is public at /legal/changes.

For the riders we have lost: the memorial.
