1.1 This consumer safety specification establishes performance requirements, test methods and marking requirements to promote safe use of recreational powered scooters and pocket bikes intended for use by children age eight to twelve years, and adolescents age thirteen and above. This consumer safety specification is intended to minimize the risk of injury to an occupant from the normal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse of these e-mobility products.

1.3 For purposes of definition, a pocket bike is a motorized two-wheel vehicle designed for a single occupant in the seated position typically designed to look like a motorcycle but scaled down to one quarter to one half the size of a typical motorcycle and not intended for use on public roads. Pocket bikes for children and adolescents are limited to speeds of 16 km/h (10 mph) or less for children age eight to twelve years, and adolescents age thirteen and above for fast-moving products capable of achieving speeds of 32 km/h (20 mph).

1.6 No product covered by this specification produced after the approval date of this consumer safety specification shall, by label, marking, or other means, indicate compliance with this consumer safety specification unless it conforms to all requirements herein.
