Apparently electric pocket bikes are a current fad. These are basically little scooters powered by a battery. A few weeks ago, in the next county over, an eight year old boy died after riding a pocket bike with no lights nor helmet at night out onto a street into the path of a car.
This afternoon I heard a strange noise across the way. It seems as if a neighbor has bought her daughter one of these bikes. She was riding her pink bike back and forth about 50 feet. The motor seemed to have only two modes/speeds - on or off. It sounded horrible - there was a big clunk every time she turned the motor on. Plus it sounded like a cheap electric drill. :eek:
Whatever happened to pedal power, banana seats and sissy bars? :confused:
