crap! totally my fault. i meant > instead of <.
you are reading it wrong. the part you have underlined say the "The term does not include such a vehicle with a seat height of no more than 25 inches from the ground when the seat is adjusted to its highest position"
the word "term" is in reference to being able to call it a bicycle.
it is saying it is not a bicycle if it is taller than 25 inches.
it doesn't make sense the way you read it. most children's bikes are much lower than 25 inches.
It means, it's a bicycle, when the
seat if raised to it's highest position, the seat must be 25" or higher off the ground.
Any NORMAL person's bike (even 20" BMX) will have that seat height prerequisite..
Any LITTLE child's bike (16" wheels or smaller) probably won't...
But who's gonna let their 6 year old ride in a bicycle lane and/or on a major road, anyways, not gonna happen..
The main reason for the seat height part is they don't want little kids (unattended) on bikes or tiny scooters on public roads...
That's why.. Most of those little electric toy scooters and tiny bikes even say on them, that they're for use off-road/private property only.
IMHO, This poll is kinda useless. The OP is incorrect in his reading of the statute.
