Electronic mobility (e-mobility) devices

If you list products on our store, you must comply with all federal, state, and local laws and our policies applicable to those products and product listings, including this policy.

E-mobility devices covered by this policy

An e-mobility device is a self-balancing transport device powered by a rechargeable battery pack (most commonly lithium-ion) that uses the shifting weight of the rider to balance the device. This policy does not include e-mobility devices that are intended for use by children.

Hoverboards

A hoverboard, also known as a “monorover” or “self-balancing electronic scooter,” is an electronic mobility device that has two wheels and a board, between the two wheels, that a user stands on. The user moves their feet to direct the hoverboard to move forward or backwards.

Self-balancing unicycles

A self-balancing unicycle is an electronic-mobility unicycle device that uses sensors in conjunction with an electronic motor to assist a rider with balancing on a single wheel, and does not have a handle for the user to grip. The self-balancing unicycle is also known as a "single wheel scooter" or a "unicycle scooter.”

Electronic skateboards (e-skateboards)

An electronic skateboard has four wheels and an added battery pack and power system to aid riders with added torque while travelling. An electronic skateboard may have a handheld remote control that allows the rider to control the device during use.

Electronic scooters (e-scooters)

An electronic scooter is an e-mobility device that has two or more wheels, a low platform, a vertical element for the user to grasp, and a method of steering. There are several types of electronic scooters, including foldable scooters, kickstand scooters, and rideable scooters such as mopeds. Electronic scooters have limited range and a maximum speed of less than 40 miles per hour.

Self-balancing personal transporter devices

A self-balancing transporter device may have one or two wheels. These devices are powered by a rechargeable battery pack and use the shifting weight of the rider to balance the device.

Electronic tricycles (e-trikes or e-tricycles)

An electronic tricycle, also called an e-trike or e-tricycle, is a three-wheeled device that is used for personal transportation and has an added battery and pedal-power system to aid the rider with added torque that assists in propulsion.

E-mobility device accessories

An e-mobility device accessory is an item that can be added to or used with an electronic mobility device. Examples of these include e-mobility device chargers and batteries.

At this time, we do not accept applications for listings of electronic mobility device accessories.
