Thanks to all the exploding "hoverboards" and other cheap Chinese toys Australia have taken a rather hard stance on all electric powered vehicles and their use in public places and importation.

A member is in negotiations with local government in an effort to get a local/state trial for a case study into the environmental impact factors that come with stifling transportation technology and attempting to establish a framework for safety. A major obstacle at this time is the lack of a speed/power limiter. The Onewheel would need a mode where speed is limited to 12km/h and maximum power is limited to 200w, this would need to be the default mode for import into Australia and when changing out of this mode you would need to be alerted that you can only use other modes on private property and agree to the change.
