Pocket Bikes Do's & Dont's

[SeLvesTr]

Are pocket bikes legal on sidewalks? Also, what age do you have to be to be able to ride one?

My little nephew birthday is coming up and he's been good so I'm thinking of getting one for him if my cousin okays it.

If you are wondering what a pocket bike is like I was check out the following video.

From this story (http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C07E3DF1638F934A15755C0A9629C8B 63) is seems they are legal but not on streets?

The bikes, most without lights and horns and all without vehicle identification numbers, are not legal for street use and are considered potentially hazardous to riders and pedestrians, the police say. But the people buying them -- mostly adolescent boys too young to have drivers' licenses -- seem unconcerned with anything that would restrict their fun.
