Answer: ✕ False

Hikari

Oh, so you can't lend it to anyone under 18? That makes sense since they're minors.

Momoka

Actually, that's false! The cutoff is 16, not 18. You can't lend a specified small motorized bicycle to anyone under 16.

Hikari

Wait, really? I totally thought it'd match the regular license age.

Momoka

Nope! Just remember: sixteen is the magic number for these little bikes!
