Anyone used one of these in anger?

If i used one of these for 2 months, it would pay for itself, as i would not need to use the tube....

Your risk...I suspect there may be others that are more expensive and road legal but, they will require at least insurnace.

Cannot see the point at all. Can't use the on the road, or the pavement. Wouldn't want to if it were legal.

The only use I've observed for these things is that chavs seem to give them to their teenage kids to shut them up, and ignore the fact that they're being a total pain in the @rse to everyone except their parents.  >:(

Besides, something with a mere 43cc is suitable only for strimming in my book ;)

I reckon you'd be better with a bicycle myself. More stable and probably faster with a moderate amount of effort. Can stop when you want to as well, without using your forehead as a brake pad ;)

Something else that should be banned off the roads also, they ride around, no insurance, knocking off door mirrors, riding side by side, go through red traffic lights, dont give a to"s for anyone but themselves, riding around in their licra tight shorts with their pointy hats on, rather Pillocks.

But mine looks cool hanging from my garage ceiling. (Nearly died of exhaustion last time I tried to ride it though) ::)
