>>1612322cops never ever check, they might get shitty if they catch you using a throttle, I've heard of a few fines being dished out to electric scooters on footpaths.
One guy went to jail, but he was high on meth riding pic related at 50kph on a foothpath near a school, and had a head on collision with a 7 year old on a bmx knocking them unconscious and disfiguring their face.
