The criteria of public property doesn’t, in no way, mean erratic behavior is permitted on it. If we were to assimilate a legal basis to it we could actually say that, mechanically, this is an electric bicycle thus falling in the legal category of vehicles that do not belong to pedestrian areas. Furthermore, if you’ve taken a walk in Beirut Souks (or any mall for that matter) you’d see that those airboards are unbearably numerous and are all over the place. Add to that the arrogance of the kids on them, you’re left with an epidemic of bad taste and dangerous behavior. Besides, it’s not like kids these day couldn’t use a proper walk instead of relying on yet another way of getting lazy and fat.
