Motorcycle ping!..................
Florida Man (Boy) Ping!.................
They shouldn’t be just using peddle or no peddle as a measure, but also horsepower or what equivalence. It doesn’t sound like to me that he got something he could use on the highway.
This should have been made clear to whomever bought the bike.
This was the parents’ fault, albeit the cops’ handling of it was excessive. The proper response would have been to give the kid a ride home and impound his bike.
Cops are hired to be Barney Fife, not for their wisdom or intelligence.
I’d bet there’s more to the story. Perhaps the area near Orlando has had a series of 20 mph e-bikes slowing down roads and/or doing thefts and runs, etc. So they’re using the it’s-really-a-motorcycle argument to try to limit them.
“”selling squirrel tables.””
??????
Come on - make an allowance for his initiative - not tickets and court dates!
if its anything like the idiots we deal with around here- this kid could’ve (i stress could’ve) been a trouble maker on this thing and the cops were just waiting to bag him...
I would be surprised if this was a one off incident...
Id expect this insanity in a commie state but NOT Florida
Had to look up what "squirrel tables" are. Huh--you learn something every day.

What in the world is a squirrel table?
Deputy Fife was only doing his job.
He’s getting a great civics lesson as he’s being home schooled thru life experience.
Back duh bloo!
More than 24 hours after the fact.

What in the actuall h3ll is going on in this country???
Freepers used to be the intelligent ones. Now they share the same ignorance” They don’t even do a little research.
An electric dirt bike is a high-powered, motorcycle-style off-road vehicle, while an e-bike is a bicycle equipped with pedals and a low-wattage motor for assistance democrats.
Speed and Power: E-bikes usually max out at 20 to 28 mph and are limited to 750 watts in the U.S. Electric dirt bikes can reach 40 to 60+ mph with massive torque designed for steep climbs and jumps
Legal Rules: E-bikes are legally allowed on standard bike paths and public streets. Electric dirt bikes are typically classified as off-highway vehicles (OHVs) or motorcycles, meaning they are restricted from bicycle paths
How do you safely ride a motorcycle and carry a fishing pole at the same time?
And don’t say they’re soft on crime. That would be future mob boss will remember to obey the law next time.
