But that doesn’t mean you can ride them on the street.

Over the past two days, the tweet solicited dozens of responses, mainly pointing to exceptions within the administrative code cited in the tweet.

Hoverboards, at least the ones that have come to the U.S. thus far (they’re all manufactured in China), cannot exceed 15 mph. Most of them cannot exceed 8 mph. Furthermore, hoverboards, which operate with two independent self-balancing wheels, fit the very description of “electric personal assistive mobility devices,” meaning they are further excepted from this administrative code.

And as of noon today, the 26th precinct had removed the tweet.

Reached for comment, a detective who answered the NYPD public relations general number said she didn’t know anything about the decision to take the tweet down: “We have no idea. We didn’t put the tweet up,” she said.
