Hoverboards, which fall under the electric personal assistive mobility devices (EPAMDs) classificaiton, are legal in Indiana. To be classified as a legal PLEV model, the device must be self-balancing with two non-tandem wheels and have an electric motor under 750W.

This results in a maximum speed of 20 mph or below. However, hoverboards are still banned in many schools and universities in Indiana.
