AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to update the definition of an "electric personal assistive mobility device," which refers to devices like Segways or similar personal transporters. The changes clarify that these devices must be self-balancing, have two wheels that are not in line (non-tandem), lack pedals, and are powered by batteries or an electric system that caps their speed at 15 miles per hour or less. Importantly, the bill explicitly includes devices that might not fit current classifications, such as Onewheels and electric unicycles, recognizing new types of personal electric transportation. However, it also clarifies that this definition does not apply to low-speed electric bicycles, low-speed scooters, motorcycles, or regular motor vehicles.
