Okay, so we all knew this was coming. What I didn't know: you need a driving licence with a 'q' on it, translation: at least a UK provisional or full overseas licence. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

if you haven't ridden in London in a while.
It's e-scoooters to the left, right, middle...
feckers are everywhere
the rentals should be easy to spot & avoid
they'll be the ones NOT doing 30mph +.. ____________________ Previous bikes: Suzuki GT250A / Yamaha DT125 / NTV Honda 650 // currently Suzuki RF900 |

We've had them in Bristol for a while too. They are dropped off in strategic places fully charged during the night.
It's £5 an hour to rent one. They have indicators and lights front and rear as well as sort of a numberplate thingy
to identify them. Also a telescopic handlebar, solid tyres, and brakes on both sides of the bar and a phone holder.
I'd say maybe 15-18 mph is the top speed of them give or take. There's loads dotted about the "right on"
Gloucester Rd area. It amazes me they aren't vandalised by the pissed up crowds coming out of the bars and pubs
round there although I have seen some pushed over onto the floor. I believe you have to have an app and then scan
a QR code on the scooter to start them up. Seems to be all the rage to whizz around with an obnoxiously loud bluetooth
speaker banging out the choons. I've never used one but have had a good look at them when they are parked. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha
