News, highlights and more relating to this great province!
I’ve seen a massive increase in teenage boys riding e-dirtbikes at 50km/hr+ as if they were licensed motorcycles… assuming a licensed motorcycle would pop a wheelie in traffic, hop on and off sidewalks, drive diagonally across intersections with red lights and do other really stupid stunts.
These kids must have parents, who likely bought them these bikes and either helped them remove the regulators or looked the other way.
Yup I see it too. Who are the parents buying these things?
What's crazy is the mindset between a normal dirt bike and these edirt bikes. Really the only difference is weight and how long they last on their fuel source. I don't see kids ripping through the streets on dirt bikes. Guess its cause they're Kore discrete because they are quiet. I dunno.
Tons of them fly down our street at a very high speed, usually without a helmet.
I saw one kid's parents must care, because he had a helmet with him. It was protecting his elbow, because he probably took it off after he was a block away from home.
