They aren't licensed for being used on the road.
They actually fall into a grey area as people have been killed and injured by riders who have hit them on pavements, and the riders have also injured themselves as anyone can just get one.
Some backbencher actually wanted them to be licensed because of this."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Motability scooters enjoy a weird position in the law. They can be drive on the footpath and the road yet need no licence, insurance or VED.
Segways by comparision are illegal anywhere in the UK except private land.
Clearly though some Police officers have nothing better to do than worry a 4 year old riding a little bike with stabilisers.I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!Comment

My grandfather had one at 92... despite being deaf and having badly impaired sight he's still take it out (without bothering to put his hearing aid in). And the nursing home let him!
I'm not sure how you find them."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
