There are no legally written rules for these as EUC's, performance scooters, Onewheels's, etc. fall into a grey area.The unspoken rules are don't be a dick and be courteous to pedestrians but that goes with just about anything you can ride. I ride in bike lanes mostly and only on roads when it is the only option. Being able to go up to 85km/h fairly quickly allows me to ride safely on the road when necessary. There is a brake light in the rear and I use hand signals for everything and I feel that is safer than having to communicate with drivers/peds on a bike or scooter. There are faster EUC's than mine, some can can go up to 110km/h+ (not that you should) and 200km's+ on a charge.
