The Segway is not classified as a moped. Laws vary from state to state but none have it in the moped category.
Florida like many other states uses the term "Electric personal assistive mobility devices" that are in a class sepperate from mopeds, bicycles and motor vehicles. Although a state law may allow its use local law can superceed.
But once the Segway is used by a person with a disability it falls under the definition in the ADA, "other mobility device".
The definition of a scooter is much more vague. Most definitions for "scooter" start with the line "a child's toy". Then goes on to cover everything from a kids kick scooter to a Silverwing.
So is a Segway a scooter ? By definition well......maybe.
Legally it is neither scooter or moped.
