The small Hondas and “mini-bikes” were always illegal to ride unless licensed driver and vehicle. A few kids in our neighborhood would scoot around the neighborhood hoping a cop wasn’t coming around the corner.
Mostly they got away with it. Sometimes they didn’t.
Not much difference. Kid got caught. If it ain’t got pedals it ain’t a bicycle.
Even at 10, I knew better than to ride our Honda 70 on the street. My dad made sure I understood the law. These little electric mini-bikes are very similar to that Honda, and even more like the cheaper lawnmower engine powered mini-bikes.
These things are everywhere in my suburban neighborhood, and the kids have no idea how to ride safe.
O pedals and an electric motor. Sounds like a Barbie car.
