I used to sell them in the 80s. Comet Birkenhead had a massive storeroom at the rear which used to be an old DIY place. We managed to write 3 of them off holding races around the stock room. Happy days :)

A local place used to rent them. Oh the fun we had racing them around Market Square ::).

Batteries soon die when ridden like that though.

Sure I saw 2 for £500 not so long ago (thought about buying one after seeing James May documentary), without working motors though. Should be an easy fix I would think. In guessing batteries as the challenging part to replace.

Look like bloody death traps tho!
