On the MIT campus, Personal Wheels are any non-medical transportation devices and vehicles, with or without motors and/or batteries, including bicycles, scooters, hoverboards, skateboards, unicycles, in-line skates, and other self-balancing personal transport mechanisms.
- Anyone who intends to bring a PW onto campus must first review the guidelines detailed below, and anyone who operates, parks, stores, or charges a PW on campus must comply with the guidelines.
- MIT’s PW guidelines do not apply to wheeled devices and vehicles designed for and used by individuals with mobility-related disabilities or medical conditions.
- A motorized wheeled vehicle with a 50cc engine or larger (including many mopeds) qualifies as a motorcycle and is not a PW in this context.
