No tax, no licence required, no mot, no helmet, no insuranse required.
Saw an article about someone who hit a pedestrian and the person involved is taking a private prosecution against the rider, could cost them thousands.
Apparently police are quite concerned about the use and sale of them as it is totally unrestricted and a real grey area.

You'll get nicked unless you're very lucky. It's a motorised vehicle and as such you'll need a licence and insurance if you're going to us it on public roads.

I have a racing model that's seriously offensive - noise and television interference - and I've 'Gotten away with it' quite a few times. I also have an electric version that I've been stopped on a few times and let go. Petrol one comes out for special occations only now, Le Mans was it's last outing.

Shame really as the latest models are quiet and energy efficient, great for beating the congestion charge.
