    Just drove home and some young lad was white knuckling it around a corner, on one of those new scooters. He got around the corner but as we riders know this kid was shitting his pants wondering if he was going to go head on into my car or make the corner.

    Motorcycle type scooter or scooter scooter?.
    In town here the electric stand on scooters that you can hire out and leave anywhere seem to be getting pretty popular.

    Scooter 5 inch wheels electric stand on.
    They are going way to fast and the kids don’t understand road smarts 
    This is wrong

    My daughter is right into them and has the odd accident as well.  Mind you she is kitted up with boots, leathers, gloves and a full face helmet so has some protection.  Her scooter will do 80km/h without breaking a sweat...there is no way you would catch me doing that - even in my booze fueled very mis-spent youth!...lol

    Pretty sure you need a credit card here to hire one, so that rules out kids.
    Gotta say they seem to be catching on quickly and they are governed so they do not go too fast.

    here in FNQ we have 10 year old and younger kids riding this type of scooter in side the white line on all public roads. Its fucking crazy they have no idea of the risks involved with the speed they do.
    My wife just purchased similar eBikes. They come with instructions on how to change the wiring to make it illegal but open throttle. It says in the instruction this is illegal and the wiring instructions on how to do it. 
    Thats not protecting our kids or the poor cunt that has 1 beer over the limit and a kid snots him self into your car grill.

    G'day,
    saw a mobility scooter driving around Kings Langley a few days ago, in the middle of the road, cutting corners, all as if he was allowed to. These things are not allowed on the road, and are limited to 10k/h on the footpath. It wont be long before some one hits him, and who's going to cop the blame. According to some locals this jerk does it every day.
    Just waiting for the thump.

    Just what I'm saying we ride and understand, 9 years old kids taking corners coming in to hot, on a main road, disturbs my sleep.
