APF guidelines on use of E-wheels at sanctioned polo events.
17 Jun 2026
The APF advises all clubs that the following guidelines should be employed re the use of e-wheels at polo events.
The guidelines seek to ensure that the safety of horses and riders are paramount.
- Helmets must be worn at all times when riding e-wheels.
- No E-wheels should be ridden on polo fields or their immediate surrounds when a game is being played. (This includes behind the goal lines and other run-off areas).
- No E-wheels to be ridden in truck park areas or around pony lines at any time.
- No E-wheels to be ridden in warm-up areas or spare-hold areas.
- A speed limit of 20kph is to be strictly followed within 10 meters of any horse.
- Horses always have the right of way.
- Riding on polo fields between games and after play concludes shall be at the discretion of the host club / tournament committee. Under no circumstances can an e-wheel be on the field when a horse is on the field.
- The host club / tournament committee shall have the right to vary these rules to suit local conditions provided that the safety of players, horses, spectators and e-wheel riders is in no way diminished.
- Please note that the APF insurance policy does not cover E-wheel riders.
- Clubs are encouraged to make all e-wheel riders aware of these rules prior to the commencement of each tournament.
