In Nevada, a hoverboard falls under the EPAMD classification. An electric personal assistive mobility device (EPAMD) is defined as a self-balancing, two-wheeled device designed to transport one person, with a maximum speed of 15 miles per hour or less.

Each incorporated city in the state has the authority to enact ordinances regulating the operation of EPAMDs to protect public health and safety. This may include prohibiting the use of EPAMDs in specific areas of the city.
