There's almost some validity to this, because I once saw a guy catch a DUI while riding one of those. They are, technically and according to most state laws, vehicles.
The issue here is the choice of venues. Vehicle or not, they are still likely to prohibited from controlled access freeways. As are bicycles, mopeds that are not capable of going highway speeds, farm tractors, horses, etc. and for the same reason.
On surface streets, however, this guy can probably rock on.
In Australia you can get a DUI equivalent for riding a bicycle while hammered.
Depending on the cop that's probably true anywhere
In most places a motorized vehicle on a public road usually requires a license plate.
Not for certain classes of vehicles, notably legitimate farm equipment, electric bicycles (below a certain threshold, anyway), and mobility devices like this.
However you are always as stated subject to some limitations as to where you can operate such things.
