Air New Zealand wishes to advise that effective immediately small vehicles powered by lithium batteries are not permitted to be carried on Air New Zealand operated services as cabin baggage, checked baggage or cargo.

Small vehicles powered by lithium batteries, that are also known as a rideable, hoverboard, airwheel, solowheel, mini-segway, or balance wheel (but are not limited to these product names) etc, are battery-powered vehicles used for recreational purposes. These are different from mobility aids which will still be carried.
