Onewheel: Germany allows driving with an electric board (not)

The onewheel found its way to Germany from America a long time ago. An adapted and final regulation of the motorized vehicle is still pending.

What is the OneWheel?

A OneWheel is a kind of electric skateboard with just one big tire placed in the middle.
The vehicle is controlled by shifting weight. If you put pressure on the front foot, move forward - a principle similar to that of the already known Segways.
The gyroscope and sensors keep the balance so that you don't lose your balance when leaning back and forth.
According to the manufacturer, the OneWheel drives up to 25 kilometers per hour depending on the driving mode and version and can cover a distance of up to twelve kilometers with one battery charge.

In Germany, such motorized vehicles that drive faster than six kilometers per hour are classified as subject to approval.
In order to obtain such approval, the OneWheel, like other vehicles, would have to be fitted with mudguards, taillights etc. in order to be considered suitable for road traffic.
Since this is not applicable to the e-skateboard, it is not possible to allow the OneWheel, such as Segways, to use it in traffic.
According to the current legal situation, it is not possible to use the OneWheel in public traffic.
However, driving on the sidewalk or in the pedestrian zone is also not permitted since it is classified as a "motor vehicle". You can only use the OneWheel on private premises.
