According to the mayor, these vehicles are often stolen from the surrounding suburbs and are used by ATVs or dirt bike gangs to intimidate locals in the city.
The mayor said many of these bikers do not have insurance, and if they injure someone with it, the injured person also bears the burden of medical expenses.
