Well he was riding on public street and what if he swerved out when a car was passing forcing it into on coming trafic. I do agree DUI is a bit harsh and the cops should have tould him just to get that thing off the road. There's a guy who rides one of those things around the parking lot at Redskins home games.

Same as if he was walking or riding a bike.

What if he ran into a group of pedestrians? Same as in a car or same as a person/bike?

A DUI in this situation is retarded.

If your riding a bike on a public street you can be charged in som if not all states. I don't think if your cutting grass on your property you can get a DUI but they might be able to give you a drinking in public.
