Journey ends for self-balancing electric scooters

Beijing has started to regulate electric self-balancing scooters after Shanghai and several other major cities recently prohibited their use on roads.

Traffic police required a man riding a self-balancing scooter to stop and only use it in private areas instead of on roads during a crackdown on traffic violations on Dec 18, indicating the riding of such vehicles is not allowed in the capital.

In addition to electric self-balancing vehicles, electric skateboards are also forbidden in Beijing.
