I HATE those Pocket Rockets!

Tourists are all the time racing around out on Seawall Blvd on those things and darting into traffic like idiots. One of these days, one of them is gonna get hurt.

I'm not even sure they're actually street legal here. Are they in other places?

I think the one on the list is the battery operated bike for kids, not the gas powered ones you see on the street being driven by adults(and we have quite a few adults riding them up and down our streets).

Have to say, my 6 year old has the one shown in the article. I don't find it any more dangerous than one of those PowerWheels vehicles. Of course, he doesn't ride it without us being outside with him.
