..stumbled across this whilst browsing the 'net;

http://ecitywheels.com/GB/Brochures/Electricycle_Scoot-E.pdf

..looks like a cross bewteen a C5 and a Segway, plus its cheaper than a Segway  :P

A good site , especially like the electric scooter that is half the price of a Vectrix - but is it as good  :-\

I like it, but i think its more appealing without the seat and basket.

Yep, thats what i was thinking, but then the basket would be great to fit your lager in and you'd probably want the seat on the way home  ;D

..I don't think it is road legal , reading through the blurb it looks like its built for use in warehouses etc.

The bloke from the A2B bikes stand at Woking said that a few companies from the electric bike industry were trying to get the regulations amended to allow more development of electric transport.

Fingers crossed they manage some progress, that would open up the opportunities for some really cool machinery  :)
