Interesting to note that in only one case was a helmet being worn! No way would I give a child a scooter (electric or otherwise) without a helmet!

Children have such a weird aversion to wearing a helmet. I remember when I was in middle school school, other kids used to leave their helmets in a bush by their house so their parents wouldn’t find out and then pick them back up on the way home.

Yeah I guess the “weird” wasn’t necessary
