With Transport Minister Eamon Ryan set to regulate the use of e-scooters to clear up the current legal uncertainty, the jury is still out on just how far these new rules should go.
Still, that'd be quite rare, and I see somebody using an electric skateboard or other device that I'm positive isn't on the small list of legal scooter-esque electric vehicles once every week or so. You'll probably get away with it, though at any time you might lose the object to an arrest. I highly doubt you'd get a criminal record.

Electric scooter laws in QLD classify e-scooters, e-skateboards, and self-balancing single-wheeled devices as PMDs. According to the law, a PMD must: Be for single use only. Have fit within the dimensions 1,250 mm (L) x 700 mm (W) x 1,350 mm (H) Have a maximum weight of 60 kg. According to federal data, the TRB report said, there were at least 158 U.S. cities with e-scooter systems as of July 2022, nearly double the 87 systems in operation in 2019. E-scooters with a motor power output of 200W and 10km/h speed are not allowed in public spaces. However, an e-scooter than fit the regulated specifications can be ridden on shared paths and roads with a speed limit equal to or under 50km/h.
