§ 18.203  PROHIBITIONS.
   a.   The use of all unlicensed motor vehicles, including, but not limited to, three-wheelers, four- wheelers, mini-bikes, go-carts, trail-bikes and other unlicensed vehicles is hereby forbidden on the streets, roads or sidewalks within the corporate limits.
   b.   The use of such vehicles is hereby declared to be a nuisance.

   These prohibitions are declared to be nuisances in that they prevent the free circulation of traffic in, through and from the town; the use thereof endangers the health, safety and welfare of the general public and these conditions can be reduced by said prohibitions.
