    Middle schoolers (age 11-14) just rip around on 2-stroke dirt bikes where I’m at. Even a 100cc dirt bike will hit 50mph at WOT.

    At least e-bikes aren’t noisy like the awful buzz of a 2-stroke a half-mile away.

      Here electric dirtbikes are a problem. They rip around with no lights in the dark, and you can’t hear them coming. Things like that make me understand why places like Paris have bike gates to restrict the handlebar width and tyre size of bikes that can pass through

      The riders wear no helmets whatsoever, so I’m just currently waiting on that problem to sort itself out 👍

      Still infinitely better than hearing a two stroke from half a mile away though
