Good evening all.Can anyone tell me what the rules in NZ are as far as riding a 49cc motorised scooter on the roads, footpath etc.Just to clarify not a moped type scooter, just one that you stand on.
Cheers

I dont care what the rules are but for the stretch of road between invercargill and otatara I urge scooterists to use the cycle lane. Its plain stupid driving on the road where there is no extra room and you are doing 50km/h while traffic wants to do 100km/h.
One day someone will get killed along there

If you're describing what I think you are, then it can only be used on private land unless it meets all the requirements (lights, brakes, mirrors etc) to be a moped and is registered as such.
If you're covered there, and there is no gazetted exemption for your particular kind of vehicle, then as above, private land only.If you think there is a chance there is an exemption in place, call NZTA.
