This was pointed out to me by the nice people at Immotor Go.

I haven't had time to look into it by confirming it or seeing if in includes removing a ban on Segways and e-scooters, etc. Basically all e-rideables under 20 mph except hover boards? And since the Segway MiniPro looks so much like a hoverboard, will that be an issue?

I am excited about this, anxious for confirmation and to get more details. If any of you know more, please share. If not, I will return and post more details as I learn them.
