  Rad Power is pretty dang clear that they are selling for riders 16 and older, and that operation by younger people is potentially a hazard. It's on their website. It's on the box, and on stickers and a tag that is physically attached to the bike when it ships, if I recall correctly. It's in the manual.

  The way I read your message was like the wheel disintegrated, perhaps due to poorly tightened or weakened spokes. > The suit goes on to argue that the quick release came loose as Steinsapir’s friend was applying the front brake, which allegedly caused the wheel to wobble and ultimately caused the crash. But what this reads like to me is the quick release was not tightened adequately or perhaps the quick release was not tightened or checked recently. This seems even more likely if it was the 100th ride. And that easily could've been a parent's mistake for not tightening the quick release adequately. So yeah, too many question marks for me to pass judgment here. I'll leave it to the professionals and hope that Rad doesn't get put out of business unjustly.
