What the hell that mofo is riding a jet ski 😂

[@Yahyoukamu]

E bike noise concern? Rather hear that instead of mopeds…

[@OneOfDaKine82]

Noise? They don’t make any noise

[@iankeegan5047]

Sounds like the problems are associated with the cars...

[@slugnaholowaa7406]

Cheap way of transportation. Just happens that its fun as hell.

[@DriverJ-N]

noise concern really? man come on..

[@srfnma6813]

But in Hawaii you can ride a motorcycle on the highway without a helmet, this is ridiculous…. Most stupid law ever….

[@JasonB808]

Locals watch this news and they buy the most powerful e-bike for their 11 year old. That’s the kind of lolo adult kids with kids we have here. 😒

[@Aka.Aka.]

Ebike noise? 100 of em can be beaten by one harley rider

[@tonysurber9111]

Ebike noise concerns though? 😂😂😂

[@testtube9423]

It's not about 750 watts. Simply make it safe driving behavior which are laws that are already exist. Speeding stunts Etc have no place on Public streets. I have a powerful ebike and drive it at about 20 miles an hour because that's safe. Unless you want a ban all cars that go over 65?

[@adamrob7480]

Oh no their poping wheelys lol

[@jeffreysumaylo3075]

Leave the kids alone

[@andrewroman1337]

Popping wheelys ooooohhhh the horror

[@roots808ndn8]

At least enforce those e-bikes that go over 45 miles an hour that kids are driving on the roads and popping willies. Start with that.

[@KevinArnold-gu2sf]

It sounds like they have a better track record of avoiding crashes than cars

[@stockey]

The ones that are causing trouble are electric dirt bikes like the Surron, these are not E-bikes, hike the minimum age for E-bikes to 16, like here in Quebec.

[@operator0017]

Thank you Augie! That's the truth, parents need to take more responsibility! It's not only about your children's life, you have to consider the lives of others too!

[@mattluna09]

Here we go again complaining again .. blame the parents who buying it for them and not teaching them safe riding

[@mixflip]

I remember in the 90s in town there would be groups of kids (and adults) on custom tuned mopeds up and down the streets.
