If you have to insure it, MOT it and have a CBT, you may as well have an electric moped because 24mph, a 25 mile range and £3500 isn't worth it compared to the likes of the electric Yamaha NEO or Piaggio 1 which are cheaper, are faster and have more range.<br>The amount of space it takes up is the only benefit.<br><br>Let's hope the Government sort out the laws so we can ride electric scooters legally like bicycles.

Didn't once mention that it's illegal to ride that in bike lanes, modal filters or anywhere a motorbike wouldn't be allowed... you'd think that would come up

The big problem is going into a shop, and coming out to find a space, where your scooter was parked. Once these become common, they will be stolen, stripped, and on the spare parts shelf before you get home in your taxi. Thieves just wouldn't be able to resist.

Doesnt the reg plate mean you now can't ride it on a cycle path?

I can see this as being a very high value theft item. How do you lock it to anything? A modern joy rider's dream machine.
