Don’t worry about anything. The kids probably are supposed to wear helmets, though.

They are not legal on the street because they do not meet the minimum speed requirements. Also, the children are not old enough to have a driver’s license and get plates for them. They are not allowed on the sidewalk because they are motorized. They can only drive it up and down your driveway, legally.
