Imported Segway from UK
Verfasst: 01.06.2012 23:00
Sorry for posting in English, but I guess that's why this part of the forum is here. I moved to Germany a couple of years ago and brought my Segway (i2) with me from England. I finally got around to going to a dealership to ask if they could recommend how to get insurance etc... Instead they told me it would be impossible to get my Segway registered (zugelassen) as I had not bought it from Segway Deutschland. I'm used to this kind of misinformation, which is how I ended up here.
I have read all the threads about tüv testing and costs and police checks but I haven't been able to find a simple summary of how to adapt my Segway to pass the technical checks. Is there a document somewhere that explains about lights, reflectors and anything else I need? A German version is fine - I understand fine but don't write well.
As I understand it, I need the zulassung first, then I can get insurance. Any advice is very welcome. I'm in Bavaria, if that affects the tüv part.
Many thanks
Oliver
