I rarely see kids on any kind of bikes these days. I rarely see any kids outside even.

Millennial dopers that never got their driver's license are the only ones I see on the bicycles and usually after dark.

I do think it's a great idea for Harley to make a cool kids bike. We should inspire the young ones to be active and go out and get hurt a little bit.

I want one for my grandson. But after seeing the specs in the article about the battery. A 20v Max battery at 2ah. My Dewalt cordless batteries for my work tools are 20v Max at 5ah. My coordless drill has more *****.

Harley will be along shortly, with their 5 stages of upgrades, to address your concerns.

Looking at the photos, the battery looks like it came from a power tool. Would be nice if they were compatible with Milwaukee tool batteries.

You miss the whole point behind it, you have to buy multiple batteries and extra charger at outrageous markup to keep the kids rolling.

Do you really want every battery you have dead, or lost, when you need to use a tool?
