URO: Unidentified Rolling Object

prj45

Spotted it this morning, like a motorbike, but it was silent, it went like stink off down Northumberland Avenue.

I caught it up at Queen Victoria Street.

It was one of these, spectacular to watch it go:

Nice - looks fun. Googled it, looks like 30mph, but the brakes look sh1te - something you get off a cheap kids bike !

Ah scrub that - found some with front discs. About £2k !

I saw it using the cycle lane from Blackfriars towards Waterloo Bridge.

I couldn't work out whether I should be shouting at him for using the cycle lane or not.

To my mind its an electric moped, by defination its not a bike as you can't pedal it. Indeed you're stuffed when your AAA's run out of charge. therefore shouldn't be in cycle lane.

It should also have number plates and insurance and VED, bet he hasn't though......

Apparently not required, according to the sites I've just looked at.
