<div style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt"><font style="font-family:Arial"><font style="font-size:10pt">Hi all<br>
<br>
As Bruce correctly pointed out there are regulations for motorized vehicles and scooters.<br>
<br>
https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/safety-and-road-rules/road-rules/a-to-z-of-road-rules/scooters-and-wheeled-recreational-devices<br>
<br>
My reading of this indicates that for vehicles under 200W the same rules apply as would apply for a human powered vehicle (push bike).<br>
At our school the vehicles are made / modified in line with these rules and with the approval of the headmaster / principal.<br>
The student and his family are made aware that the school is not liable where the vehicle is used outside the school grounds.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps<br>
<br>
Kind regards ... Roger Knight<br>

Hi Mark,<br>
It's my understanding that a couple of years ago all teachers were informed that scooters and go karts were forbidden as the department was worried that students could be injured and then sue the department. In fact the statement said something along the line
of any motorised project used to transport a person was prohibited.<br>
<br>
Last year I inquired for a student about making a Segway type vehicle, but was told that because they were not legal to use on footpaths and roads in Victoria the student was not allowed to make one.<br>
<br>
I was then very surprised to see a motorised vehicle at Top Designs a month or so later.<br>
<br>
It would be a great help to us all if VCAB were to put in a description of types of projects that are not allowed along with a description of the regulations regarding voltages and mains wiring for projects in their Support Materials for Systems Engineering
as these type of questions regularly occur over the life of a study design.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
Neville Young<br>

<br>
Hi all,<br>
<br>
Are there published or even un written rules on maximum power for student projects?<br>
I have one student wanting to make a scooter that exceeds the 200 W power limit of Vic Roads.<br>
Another student wishes to make an electric go Kart.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
Mark Tory<br>
