    Didn’t know they were Irvine based. Guess that’s why I saw so many around that part of OC.

    Kids always looked like they were having a blast, 2 friends zipping around. I wish these bikes existed when I was a kid, but better for my health that they didn’t.

      I did enough dumb dangerous shit on a regular bike when I was a kid, if they had ebikes and eboards back then I’d probably be long dead.

        This summer I was at the skatepark and this teenage boy took an electric trike into the bowl, absolutely shredding the coping on the deep end. Kid was a multi discipline talent - skate, bmx - but trike? Electric? Wtf?!

        Me and this other dude look at each other, both of us in our 30s, and we’re in unison thank god we didn’t have those back then!

          puts some plywood on some cinder blocks

          “Yeah, gonna get some sick jumps off this.”

          “ramp” falls apart after 2 jumps, but is reassembled 3 more times before someone gets hurt bad enough to stop

          “Don’t tell mom.”
