Maybe It's Me and I'm Crazy

I'm sitting here enjoying my coffee, chatting on myLot and the game show Price Is Right is on in the background.
It caught my attention when an electric skateboard came up as a prize for $2000! Say what!! $2000 for a skateboard? well it did come with a helmet and it can go up to 35mph.
Not only did the cost shock me but it made me wonder why someone would need/want a skateboard that goes that fast and where in the world would they ride it? At a local park maybe but certainly not wise to ride on a sidewalk or street.
The main road outside my community has a 35mph limit for cars!
Guess I'm just an old fuddy duddy

I have seen some of those fast ones on sidewalks before. They better wear kneepads along with a helmet.

Mentally, I always deduct around a third of the price because I assume the price is jacked up having filmed in California. I remember having a dish in California for $20 in California in November back when we went to Disneyland. The same dish at the same restaurant in California that cost $20 there, only cost $14 here. Everything is just so expensive in California, Disneyland or not.

There is a huge difference of opinion here in our city questioning if those scooters, because of their speed, should be allowed on the sidewalks or in the bike lane. Helmets are mandatory.
But even the non-electric scooters are expensive, as are helmets.
The twins each have one and they are pricey.
They needed new helmets, and after getting those, they decided that they no longer wanted to ride their scoooters.
I doubt that the helmets will fit come skating season, but if they do, they can use them then.

These things are dangerous
If they go that fast here they have to be registered as motor vehicles like cars and motorbike
So the owners have to pay road tax, get a registration plate and get insurance
So if they are road legal fine
