A Message from the EPA Police Department Traffic Division
Leyes Afectando Mini-motos, patínetas de motor y Go-Carts

There has been an ongoing problem in our community with the small "pocket
bikes," mini bikes, motor scooters, and go-carts. We want to take this

and clear up misunderstandings surrounding them.
It appears that most of the manufacturers and vendors of these vehicles are
very happy to sell them, but they are not informing the buyers of some very
important facts.

It didn't take long. My journey began and ended on my own doorstep
as I was greeted by friendly neighbors and made to feel right
at home in their homes and community.
