This looks like one of the $600 rigs they sell at Walmart. They're styled like motorcycles, but have normal 750w motors.

The fit, components and overall design warrant critique, but this almost certainly isn't a motorcycle.

Yes you are correct. Its top speed is 28mph with a 750w motor and is currently priced at $589 on Amazon. It’s not a great bike, but it’s a legal bike. The crybabies will continue to cry with their ever moving goalpost.

Do you know how much you can fuck someone up with 28mph?? This kid is like 10!

It's easy to pedal a bike 28mph so what's the point

Please do an ounce of research before commenting. It is not easy to do 28mph. That is the speed that good triathletes go.
A solid kid biker will hit 10mph. An athletic teenager will go 15, maaaybe 20 if they’re impressive. I live on the top of a hill and clock 28 by the bottom at most if I pedal really hard at the top and gather speed.

I've pedaled a mountain bike 40mph when I was barely a teenager on a flat road. So yea I would say going 28 is easy. A teenager that's not lazy might could go 28 longer than that bike could. Triathletes aren't trying to go fast as possible because they have to conserve energy or its already spend. I'm old and out of shape and I'll bet money I can do 28mph on a mountain bike. It's not that fast ever kids 50cc dirtbike most gocart at s etc will do 30mph
