Recital 8

(8) Since the purpose of this Regulation is to address the risks stemming from the road circulation of non-road mobile machinery designed and constructed for performing work and not for the transport of persons, animals or goods, except insofar as it carries materials that contribute to its operation, this Regulation should not apply to machinery the only objective of which is the transport of persons, animals or goods. All types of new personal mobility devices, such as stand-up and seated e-scooters, electrically assisted pedal cycles including electrically power-assisted cycles and those intended for carrying commercial cargo, self-balancing vehicles including self-balancing personal transporters and hoverboards, electric unicycles, electric skateboards and ‘one-wheel’ boards, are therefore not subject to this Regulation.
