Because society got tired of paying for the health care associated with avoidable head injuries on riders not wearing good enough helmets or no helmets at all.
Depends. Over a certain horsepower, bikes have to be legally approved for road use. Brakes, indicators, insurance...
Not legally, you have to be 17 to ride a 125cc or less scooter on the road
yes, as long as you're off the public roads. Also I'm not sure, but i think there might be helmet laws that apply, even off-road.
you don't have to be a certain age to legally ride a dirtbike on the side of the road,but you do need to be 16 years old to ride one on the road
18 years old
i got pulled over for it. it needs to be DOT approved and be registered and licesensed
A neighbour allows his 6 year old son to ride a petrol/diesel driven child size motorcycle on the road on our housing estate, and without a safety helmet. Is this legal here in the UK?
Not legally. Dirt bikes are made for off road use.
To prevent your brain matter from making the road slick for the rest of us in the event you dump your ride head first.
Depending on country you are taling about, in countires like australia and Britian when you are using a veichle on the road with our motor viechles you have to wear a helmet because you are not allowed to ride on the footpaths. It also depends on what type of scooter your have, as in engine size and if you are allowed to ride in the cylce lanes etc. hope this helps
Yes. Most countries throughout the world demand some kind of rider training and license in order to legally ride on the road. If you are only riding off-road, however, a license is not required.
He cant you need to be over 18 to drive any kind of vehicle on the road legally unless it is on your propety.
