Police in the North Island town of Taupo had enthusiastically embraced the electric-powered Segways.
The two-wheeled scooters, which use gyroscopes and computers to remain upright and can reach speeds of up to 20kmh, had proven popular with the community, Inspector Steve Bullock said.
'They are a novel vehicle, I would liken them to a modern-day horse because they engender curiosity and people want to talk to you about them, which is what we want as a police organisation,' he added.
This had to be abandoned after finding it was against the law to use Segways in public areas.
