had been on a self-balancing scooter at the time of the tragedy, say police.]

That's a shame, poor kid.

Really wish they would stop calling these hoverboards though. It's a swegway.

[Mystic Mock]

I see that people are being prejudiced to people that dare to ride Hoverboards.:bawling:
















Seriously though R.I.P to the 15 year old, and condolences to his family.

If cyclists with helmets, lights and reflectors struggle to be seen then this kid had no chance :(

[Kazanne]

Aren't they illegal on pavements? thought heard that somewhere,anyway,such a sad time for his family,poor kid.

[smudgie]

Poor lad. R.I.P.

I can't help but think that there will be more of these tragedies to come.

[Northern Monkey]

He did'nt have a crate of lucozade on him did he?

Very dangerous.Maybe some kind of licence or age restriction is needed.Poor kid.

They're banned, you're not supposed to ride them anywhere.
What would be the point of your oystercard then?..

Well it is probably a good thing that they're banned.It is probably more health and safety issue rather than losing money on public transport otherwise bikes and skateboards would be banned too.

Very sad. At 15 life should be just beginning, not ending.
My thoughts are for his family and friends.
