The vehicles do not meet mandatory safety requirements. Children can operate them above the maximum allowed speed, increasing the risk of a crash that can cause serious injuries.
In addition, the handlebars could pose a laceration hazard if the rider’s body or head hit the handlebars at a high rate of speed, such as in a crash.
No incidents or injuries are reported.
