His parents also had the "lots of money" that allowed him to "replace the wheels every few weeks".

I know that when I was a child, if I had a scooter and the wheels broke, I would never get to own a scooter again. So that's the kind of opportunity I'd have missed out on.

To be fair, that's a direct quote from him - it's possible that he had a job that allowed him to pay for the replacements himself.

On the other hand, I doubt my parents would have lent me $2k when I was 13.
