What planet are you from?

If you are 13 earth years old, it may not be proper for you to be here.

<Admin, are minors allowed?>

I would seek parental advice and council to see if I was allowed to play here.

Good luck.

If it exceeds certain speeds then it may require licensing as a road vehicle with appropriate levels of indemnity insurance and periodic testing.

For information and for example, the Segway personal mobility platform is not licensable for use on public roads or footpaths in the UK, and one can be prosecuted for using it in certain situations. The situation is different on private land.

If you had a chance to watch the move "Iron Man", you might remember what happened when he first tried out his rocket powered boots.

Because of movie magic, he was not hurt. In reality, that stunt would probably have killed him. You might also enjoy watching "Rocket City Rednecks" on the National Geographic channel. Just remember, there is a very good reason they say "Don't try this at home"!

in the interest of maintaining reasonable carbon footprint I suggest you go electric on this one, a good DC motor will provide ample torque to have your veins coursing with Adrenalin
