In 2001 I obtained useful advice from RTT subscribers that enabled me
to evaluate the safety of recreational scooters, including powered
devices. The report on that project (prepared for Vicroads) can be
downloaded from:

The Australian National Transport Commission (NTC) also published a
report on this topic in 2005:

I am interested to hear from RTT subscribers about international
developments on this topic in recent years, including the Segway and
similar devices.
