The craziest part about the "jet-ski scooter?"

It's street legal.

A Florida Highway Patrol trooper told told WJXT the jet-ski scooter is legal if it meets all street-legal parameters and has a visible tail light.

Yarbrough told WJXT the Department of Transportation approved his headlight, adding, "It is a street legal '89 Honda elite scooter and has an integrated tail light that works."
