This FOI release contains a "Not A Road Vehicle" (NARV) application submitted to the Department of Infrastructure on 9 August 2024 for a Segway Xyber, classified as an off-road e-bike. The applicant sought an advisory notice regarding the vehicle's regulatory status. The application form indicates the Segway Xyber is a 2024 model designed for off-road use, lacks standard road vehicle features (direction indicators, brake lights, mirrors, registration plate mounting, seat belts, and enclosed cabin), but can exceed 25 km/h on flat surfaces. Supporting documentation included manufacturer specifications and vehicle images. Applicant and address details were redacted under section 47F of the Freedom of Information Act. The application represents the Department's process for determining whether novel vehicles fall outside road vehicle regulations.
