Multiple tense and form errors: 'do have' is present tense but the context is past, so use 'had' (Present tense issue ID 6). 'Used to taught' incorrectly uses past tense 'taught' after 'used to'; the correct form is base verb 'teach' after 'used to' (Verb + -ing form not applicable; this is present tense issue). 'Ever since I was around 7 years old' conflicts with 'used to'; rephrase to 'I learned when I was around seven years old' for clarity (Sentence structure errors). 'My bike in that time is pink' mixes past situation with present 'is'; change to 'was pink' (Present tense issue). Suggestions: keep past narrative consistently in past simple; use 'used to' + base verb for habitual past; match verb tenses (past) across clauses, and break long run-on sentence into shorter sentences for clarity.

✓ Bicycles used to be popular when I was younger, but nowadays I often see a lot of kids enjoying riding their go-karts and electric bikes rather than regular bikes, so I feel bicycles are not as popular anymore.
Several issues: 'It used to be popular' is vague; better to use plural 'Bicycles used to be popular' (Singular and plural issue ID 1). 'Kids enjoys' is subject-verb disagreement; after plural subject 'kids' use 'enjoy' or use gerund 'enjoying' after 'see' (Subject-verb agreement and Present tense issue ID 27 and 6). 'Go Kart' should be 'go-karts' (plural and hyphenation) and 'electronic bike' is better as 'electric bikes' (word choice and plural). 'Than normal bike' should be 'rather than regular bikes' (Incorrect comparison object ID 19 and Singular/plural). 'I feel like bicycle are not that popular' mixes singular/plural and verb 'are' with singular 'bicycle'; use 'bicycles are not as popular' (Singular and plural issue). Suggestions: keep nouns and verbs in correct number agreement, use 'see + gerund' (see doing) for observing actions, and prefer 'electric bike(s)' or 'electric bicycle(s)'; avoid redundant 'nowadays' twice.
