Retailers across America are rolling out pocket bikes, also known as “pocket rockets,” as well as mini scooters and electric scooters. They travel at about 35 miles per hour and they cost between $250 and $400. These gadgets are all over the news because kids are getting injured every day on them. It’s unclear whether they are legal for kids to ride, and more importantly, whether they are safe to ride. They look fun and harmless, but they’re actually very dangerous. They come up to between your knee and waist area and they are very cheap and fast. Police are stunned by all of the problems they are causing, and there are no laws on the books right now. So, parents need to step in and take charge of this situation before it gets out of hand.
