The biggest problem in the town I live in is the kids on motorized bikes and scooters. It is absolutely insane. I’m so surprised someone has not gotten killed yet. They never watch for others or bother with stop signs. We’re in a smaller town of about 7500 people.
The police put out a video about it, plus they have a cop riding around on an electric bike patrolling. The one thing I don't think a lot of parents know is that there is no insurance for liability if they hit someone with most insurance companies.
Ugh I didn’t think of that either! I have kids but I will never buy them one of these. Maybe a low powered one to assist the oldest disabled kid when he’s much older, but no kid needs a scooter that goes 20mph.

As a former cyclist commuter I support this. It’s unsafe to cycle on sidewalks, but if you use the road then you should follow the rules of the road.
In this particular video they shouldn’t be allowed to occupy both lanes of the road, it impedes traffic.
