None the less, a $8000 ticket is BS.
New York City will take away your electric scooter if they catch you riding one. I knew a bike messenger that had a gas motor and the police stopped him.
I did see a New York City police man riding a Segway last year but this was just a novelty. I haven't seen any riding them since but it did catch loads of attention.
