"I brought this for my chunky 12 year old pre teen son"
-Radmother
Maybe if they bought the one without the motor, their kid wouldn't be so 'chunky'…
maybe just stop feeding so much crap, their kid wouldn't be so 'chunky'
Diet is important
What happened to the back wheel ?
leehw vj?
Max weight limit 70kgs
deal breaker… (Maybe I could buy 2 ???)
Maybe if you bought the one without the motor…
Yeah I'm pretty sure it's not very legal on the road, not that anything wrong with the deal.
or is it extremely legal?
As long as it is not over 200W of power, then its legal..
then its legal.
on the road or footpath ?
"road" as per what was said. Bikes and Scooters shouldnt be on footpaths anyway and you can get booked for that by a bored cop.
and you can get booked for that by a bored cop.
Not if you're 12 or under, or riding with someone 12 or under…
I would like to see cats racing these. Perhaps some slight modification. With helmets and old-skool biggles goggles. It could be a new sport. #SkootKatz
Dish Breaks is a deal breaker?
That is why you shouldn't let the kids ride it in the kitchen or dinning room.
Illegal in Qld, sorry…
Powered wheeled recreational devices (ONLY electric foot scooters allowed) MUST be speed limited to 10km/ph and have a plate/sticker from the manufacturer stating a power output of 200w or less.
I'd go into where they are allowed to be ridden but no point… keep this to parks or backyards, screwed… I know!
How you know this model is over 200W of power? The speed limit is 40km/h (the equivalent speed of a normal push bike). If this was the case, then all bicycles should be banned.
I don't know it's over 200w of power, it doesn't matter, since it's over the 10km/ph limit allowed under TORUM. The speed limit is NOT 40km/h, it is 10KM/H. While there is no 'equivelant' speed of a normal push bike, the general rule we use to justify further investigation to see whether a bicycle is illegally over-powered or not is roughly 25km/ph.
'If this was the case, then all bicycles should be banned.' I am not sure what your implying there??? Under TORUM and Road Rules Regs 2009 a BICYCLE has a completely different legal definition to a Powered wheeled recreational device
http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/Safety/Queensland-road-rules/Wheel…
"Wheeled recreational devices include rollerblades, rollerskates and skateboards, scooters and motorised foot scooters.
Follow these requirements if you are travelling on a wheeled recreational device or wheeled toy.
You must not:
travel on a road with a dividing line or median strip, or a one-way road with more than one marked lane
travel on a road with a speed limit greater than 50km hour (km/h). During the day you can ride on a road that is not a main road and has a speed limit of 50km/h or less, but you must stay to the left hand side of the road
travel on a road at night but you may cross a road while riding your wheeled recreational device by the shortest route (if you need to ride at night, you can ride your wheeled recreational device on a footpath)
travel alongside more than one other person or vehicle travelling on a road in the same direction, unless you are overtaking
cause a traffic hazard by moving into the path of a driver, or unreasonably obstruct the path of any other road user."
Yes, those are the road rules requirements for a wheeled recreational device, a powered wheeled recreational device etc. NOT for a bicycle!!!
What you've posted above also does not include the actual power output/speed limit required for all powered wheeled recreational devices in Queensland.
I am relating this back to the OP here - for a motorised foot scooter on sale at Target.. Eyes Rolled
Forget I said anything..
can adults use these?
Of course, but not on the roads/road related areas in Queensland. They are generally considered powered wheeled recreational devices when an adult is using them and a wheeled toy when a kid is using them.
expired already
12km per hour, is that faster than using your own foot?
my kids have the razor trikke e2 which do 16km/h any thing less would be boring for all but the smallest of kids.
12km per hour, is that faster than using your own foot?
It's jogging speed…
I've paid $89 for this scooter in April >__<. My 9 yr old love it. *This scooter is not suitable to drive on footpath as it can be really bumpy.
does this protect you from sun burn?
