Overview

  • The roughly 10‑second video, shared on X early Monday, shows a woman and a child traveling on a motorized vehicle concealed by a plastic dinosaur shell.
  • The pair appear to move at a considerable speed without visible protective gear and seem to avoid being recorded.
  • The clip’s location and recording date are not confirmed, and outlets note uncertainty over whether the device is a modified electric bicycle or a mall ride adapted for street use.
  • Authorities have not reported an investigation, anomaly report, or fine related to the footage as of the latest coverage.
  • Recent CDMX Mobility Law reforms will require plates and a driver’s license for scooters and e‑bikes that exceed 25 km/h or weigh over 35 kg, with a 360‑day grace period and procedures expected to begin in December 2025.
