Man's first ride on electric skateboard ends with $600 ticket
"I asked him why," Dahlberg said. "He said it's because I had no insurance. So then I asked him, I had no idea I needed it, how do I get it, and he told me that I wasn't able to get insurance.
So I just kinda stared at him flabbergasted because I didn't know how to respond to that. It doesn't really make a lot of sense.".
Dahlberg's plea of ignorance, which seems understandable when motorized scooters and skateboards are common sights on Vancouver's streets, had little affect. The officer responded that ignorance of the law is not an excuse.
"I told him, 'I completely agree, but I'll walk this thing right back to the store and give it back because I had no indication at all that this was illegal," Dahlberg said.
"I made a comparison to a motorized bike and he said those ones are actually legal because they actually assist you and you're able to operate them manually. I made the case that I could operate my skateboard manually.
He said 'nice try.". Dahlberg intends to challenge the ticket. "I'm definitely going to contest it," he said. "Definitely. I just think it's wrong that I can't use a device like this.".
He also plans to return the e-skateboard and get his money back. Unfortunately, he'll have to deal directly with the manufacturer.
He can't return it to the board shop because, thanks to his short-lived first ride, which ended with him walking with the board under his arm the rest of the way, it's been used.
"I have contacted the place that sold it to me to basically find out why they didn't warn me. He said they've been selling these boards for two years and he's never been aware of the law," Dahlberg said.
Now that Dahlberg is aware of the law, he'd like to see it reconsidered. "I'd love to see that change," he said. "I see no reason why I should be discouraged from using a device that emits no carbon, that's safe.".
Fellow boarder James Tait agrees. He recently bought a motorized skateboard of his own and, after hearing about Dahlberg's story on Reddit, he's worried about taking it out for a ride.
"As far as I'm concerned, this law is outdated," he said in an email to Postmedia.
"Instead of driving a car, which damages our planet and quite frankly costs a fortune, I have the option to ride an electric board which, when operated safely, is no different than riding a bike.".
"In a province so connected with the outdoors and and the health of the planet, it seems unfortunate to penalize those who wish to find alternate methods of transportation.
There are a lot of us riding the devices in Vancouver, with many shops that sell them, and for me to not be able to ride this anymore would be unfortunate because it's unbelievably fun to ride, but it also costs a fair amount of money and I'd rather not see it collecting dust.".
