Devon and Cornwall Roads Policing Team tweeted a picture of the electric skateboard board it had seized sitting on top of one of its vehicles.
A spokesperson added: "We seized this electric skate board from a male who was swerving around pedestrians on the pavement in Exeter last night.
"It has a top speed of 48mph!!! To top it off he had a quantity of Class A & B in his possession."
Former road traffic Sgt Harry Tangye was among those to praise the police officers.
He wrote: "Nice pull. The law takes into account the power of the skateboard/bike etc to see if it comes in the bracket of a 'toy' or a method of transport.
"This was a simple one! 48mph!"
