Looked like a pocket bike, only a lot smaller. Somewhere between a pocket bike and a remote control car. The dude looked like he was sitting on a really small toilet with handlebars. Was it just a really small pocket bike?

Yeah, there are pocket bikes that are basically the size of an NSR50 and then there are ones that are so low your feet almost touch the ground.

I personally would never want a pocket bike that is too small to comfortably sit on.

This didn't look comfy at all. He looked like he was crouching to take a **** in the woods.

I took mine to a track yesterday. It was fun but not as fun as riding my friends ysr and rs50 there. For $20, you can race from 1-10pm.
