The legislation is playing catch up. These are motorbikes with a different layout.

There's loads of 60mph models and the Rion RE90 Racing Edition will do 100 !! :o

But, electric, thus must be ok as far as our leglislators are concerned. However, if they were ice powered there'd be immediate action.
Then, even if there was any leglisation to control these, enforcement would be minimal.

This should be fun - the NHS are already seeing an increase in accidents from the low powered rental ones - these really will become donor bikes!

It takes real guts to drive one of those at that speed. Sadly the guts are probably what is left for the NHS to sort. :vomit:

The 'squeeze through' by the filming vehicle was surely putting someone in peril in even greater danger.
