It is necessary for operational divisions. Perhaps in  parks, it is possible where it is necessary to use such equipment for "legend" — explained in National police of Ukraine.

Ukraine is not the first country in which police officers use electroscooters. Earlier the same vehicles began to apply in the Estonian law enforcement agencies. And in Russia — it is specific in Naberezhnye Chelny — the security guard and patrol service uses segways for movement on streets.

Similar transport in Ukraine could be necessary for refining in practice of the moments connected with earlier adopted  bill of electroscooters and electroscooters.

Also it is supposed that electroscooters, giroskuter and monowheels will be used for patrol of pedestrian zones, parks and other places where accumulation of people does not allow to use other vehicles.
