Midget Motorcycles Terrorize Boston

The
sparkling chrome mufflers, sleek fiberglass bodies, and ventilated disc
brakes are enough to please any motorcycle admirer. But the bikes that
scream up and down Deborah Connally’s street each night are 2 feet high.
And they’re driven by 13-year-olds.

Mini motorbikes, going by names like Ninja Super Racer and Mini Chopper,
have become the rage among teenagers in Boston, and they’re driving adults
like Connally nuts.

Relatively inexpensive, too small to require a license, and built to look
like racing bikes, the bikes are flying out of showrooms at motorcycle
and auto accessory stores.
