Are they road legal? Do you have to have tax and insurance, or, is it a grey area like the gopeds (that aren't legal on road or paths)?
Just wondering as a number of these annoying feckin' things have cropped up near us and make an incessant din with their one note exhaust
All IMHO
(but would like the legality question answered )

LOL that looks a laugh, saw these on promotion in a shopping centre recently, anything from 150 quid to 400 quid for different specs.What puts me off is the worry/expense of having to replace parts/blown engines etc on a regular basis or are they actually a lot more reliable than that?

(but would like the legality question answered )i think they're more for carpark fun and meeting up in designated spots for a race. shame that some a ruining the things by racing on paths but there you go.

Cheers Don't mind them being ridden in the proper places but around 23:30 on the main estate road I was desparately wishing I had a snipers rifle Next time I'll go out and kick him off it, then he can claim it on his virtual insurance

dont get a cheap one upto £400 they are chinese models with strimmer engines!!!! even the liquid cooled 55mph will just fall to pieces. they are only that quick because of the clutch set to come in at 10.000 rpm. if you want a descent one that is quick and wont fail then get the british models that are exactly the same but have the race port engines 49cc. they are £800 min
