In England, there was such a big problem with these bikes. Adolescents were buying them, & causing so many accidents with their crazy riding, that the police were immediately confiscating any that were being ridden in a public place.

They were able to do this because the bikes had no registration plates, no road tax disc showing, no insurance. Lighting not up to spec, no test certificate - the list of no no's goes on & on.

They were just not street legal.
