Yes, exactly those. Basically plastic "tins" around a (light) pipe frame.

I`ve seen quite a few of those in the winter in the yard of the local repair shop that has had their wheels folded under them due to a sideways crash onto the curb stones and the swingarms have given in.

They cost around 10 000 euros here as new, I was about 21-22 when I could get a LOAN that big to buy the Volvo I now have... Took me 5 years to pay for it...

 

My thought exactly. One lucky son of a beach!!!
No seatbelt. Major collision. Hot blonde helping him out!!
Must be the future democratic leader.

 

It seems an ill thought out concept to me (IMHO), and will just clog up the roads - yet again.

And TK sorry to hear your not immortal anymore.

Parts of me still are

That exactly. They go max 60kph and cause loooong lines in places where you cant pass..

 

That was just plain stupid!

 

Aaaarg!! Those things are the most stupid thing I've ever seen!

I can't believe they're coming to the UK, the only consolation is I can't imagine too many teenagers will be able to afford ten grand.

 

Wait for the kids (with moneyed parents) to figure out that a 600RR engine will fit in there.....
Totally stupid vehicle, overpriced, dangerous.
Should not be allowed. Hope they don't bring them here - it'll give bikes a bad name......

 

Picture what one of those looks like with a 12" woofer on the back on full blast and the plastic tins hanging on for dear life! Last summer I wondered where is that music coming from as I was sitting in red lights with my truck until I looked to my left. Well, down to be more precise. The whole thing was bulging to the bass. Looked like a bug with hickups. I was laughing so hard I missed my greens!

 

speaking about the safety issue, I just drove past a crash site where one of those and a "real car" had hit together at a crossroads. A slight kiss into the front corner of the moped car had broken it`s chassis and the left front tire was laying against the shock, the other car had no visibe marks on it...

nobony seemed to be injured.

EDIT: just remembered I had this in my cellphone ;D

 

Nice rig!
