[Switzerland ]Police took my electric board with them

Can you put GPS trackers inside them, so if the police steal them, you can go steal them back later?

I wouldn’t know, I live in the USA. We don’t even have healthcare anymore. Here a cop just got arrested for shooting another cop while on-duty because they were getting drunk and playing Russian Roulette while on the job.

@MarcoMota1 definitely longboard skateboard’s are not illegal in the land of cheese and chocolate… I ll try to stay under the radar with my setup…nice routes near Zurich (Pfannenstiel)…best early in the morning. good luck getting your board back.

Shit I live in Switzerland too (from France before, moved in this year) The law says that electric skateboards are illegal, but I haven’t got any problem (yet) Longboards are surely legals, there so much in Lausanne, and if the law say so, I bet you won’t have any problem over regular street skateboards

I doubt he stole it from you, but go and check at the police station if they still have it if you’re unsure

I had the same situation a few days ago germany…

I got luck. A week after i called the police and they said i can pick up my board. No expertise from the board and i just have to pay around 50€.

In switzerland and germoney its illegal because you don’t pay taxes to the greedy government for riding a longboard and they say its all about your safety what is a fucking lie. Nobody cares about the millions of alcohol victims or the dead people on the speed unlimited highways in germoney. You can drive 300kmh with your car but skateboarding is to dangerous? Wake up, people! They betrayed our grandparent, our parents and now they betray us. Everything is fine if you ve got enough money to pay your parking tickets. Pool full of greedy suckers. You even get a punishment in germoney, just for playing cards without a helmet. Nice business model created by assholes to patronize you all and to soften your brains make you believe they mean it well for you. In our country you will never be old enough to decide for yourself.

i can´t totally agree with it. even in your germoney you can´t drive everywhere 300 and you can´t drive this 300 with any car you want. If you have a fucked up car with broken brakes than the government also don´t give you to drive with this car on the street. Not saying that the rules are accurate regarding electronic vehicles , but things/the law are changing in the moment … they just super slowly as usual. It´s not right to compair esk8 with other situations in life, but as you want to do so, you think it´s more save to blast with 300km/h in a car than to blast with 65 km/h on an esk8, maybe even without helmet? And don´t come me with, “a car can hit also people which not involved in it”… you can harm others with you esk8 too… while riding and while not riding. Just imagine one board going up in flames in a closed room because of a shitty build battery… you want to be close by in this moment?

If people would be, than this wouldn´t happen so often…

with this said, I might not agree with things how they are at the moment, but to look on that only from your esk8 side of view isn´t right either.

get sure to open your maniac app and switch to 5- 10a while talking with them. Your board wont be faster than 6kmh when they want to test it :joy::joy:

“I was just pushing hard officer” i dont think they know how to use a bldc tool :joy:

But riding super fast when people are everywhere isnt cool

Here’s a better solution for dealing with cops… quad 6374s with 8 inch pneumatics and a 12s8p battery. Then you just gotta outrun them!
