I saw a girl on one of those shopping trolleys in the West end the other week, as i recall it was painted in an Olive green type camo military colour, looked quite cool in a minimalist sort of way. Almost a sort of communist type statement.

 

I once saw a vertically challenged man (dwarf) riding something similar a few years ago...it must be an incredibly niche market

 

odd machine for odd people , maybe

 

In a similar minimalist vein, I saw this on Tradecarview and thought it looked pretty cool.

It's a chopped up/down Yamaha TW200, yours for £1800 F.O.B

I have also quite like these. I used to have a 125 vespa, and would on occasion overtake a zoomed, they are slow, but something appeals.

Also seen quite a few in Stockholm bizarrely.

 

A friend bought a brand new ones of these in 2010, red one.

Very quirky and different, but with the limiter it was a liability. 28mph limit.

It sounds 'nice' being a 4 stroke, not the typical moped noise. To derestrict them you can get a 'polini kit' or something along those lines. They run an ECU so can't be tweaked.

He seemed to like it. Bought it for 2200 new, and sold it a year later for 1600.

He used to get about 110 miles on a fiver of fuel
