Let them play, the only mandatory thing is that they change the handlebar, the rest must be as "safe" as other polo bikes.
Call them donkey bikes, a lot of polo players are playing on donkey bikes (mostly beginners). Donkey? Yes, because the example of showing up with elephants at a horse polo game is just stupid (this would be a motorcycle at a bicycle game) so a donkey is more suitable. The players eventually notice that their donkey is not fast, etc. enough for the game and change their setup. What results in a "proper" polo bike. Everyone started on donkeys. Some still do and kick your ass, deal with it.
