Though they say it has a roll cage, why does it seem oddly weird that they say "no helmet needed"? Like asbestos free cereal.

Re: roll cage: Possibly in some jurisdictions it may be regulated as a motorcycle? Many times motorcycles require the use of a helmet even if said "motorcycle" isn't a 2-wheeled vehicle with an exposed rider.
