I've got one for when I want to go out during the lockdown. That's when it doesn't snow.

Richard Hammond (old BBC Top Gear episode) featured a laptop-sized (bit thicker [the conveyance, not Richard Hammond] [?]) electric conveyance, and I have thus far been unable to locate anything similar - I'd love one of those... looks easily carried in a rucksack. Mind you - I'd inevitaby take a tumble, shatter, and regret buying it.

As long as you put pedals driving a wheel, why not? Hehe

Wow! That's a good find! I searched everywhere and couldn't find this thing! By the size of the battery pack, there doesn't seem to be a lot of room for many 18650s - Richard Hammond was using it in an airport to get between terminals, I suppose for that purpose it'd be ideal but it looks too unsafe for use on a crowded street. I'd still buy one for a dollar. If it could fold out to become a full e-skateboard... it'd be far more stable. This looks interesting - if it could be folded smaller, it'd be perfect:

...add a telescopic handle for the e-scooter model.

Air wheel SE3 getting closer, but still no cigar

These have an assist mode for 20 miles - not pedalling as such, or at all in fact:

But it's 14.5kg Before adding contents!
Put a crank thru a 305 front wheel & voila, legal ebike?

Holy smokes! Four of these are on a 5000hp dragster:

14.5kg is lighter than most non-electrified mountain bikes. So close to legal! (possibly)

Well, the smallest cranks are 100mm kiddie cranks? So need a wheel like ETRTO 305mm plus, to pedal without heel/pedal strike on ground? Is there a motor that will allow a freewheeling crank thru the middle & cable not thru axle?

If you could install a crankwheel at the front driving a chain to the back, a TongSheng might fit? It'd be a brave man who tried... not least because of street ridicule...

Then just have a kiddie crank wheel at the front, a hub motor front wheel at the back, no chain, no BB, just go!

At about £2000 all in costs per hour of flight, I don't think theyll be calling NPAS anytime soon for a lad committing document offences on a scooter.

And it they did you'd probably at that instead.

Don't mess with the Suffolk police...

Suffolk police Apache helicopter is back

The controversial Suffolk Police apache helicopter which accidentally blew up a vicarage is back in service after the pilots received specialist training.

Thankfully no one was seriously hurt in the incident, which occurred while the Apache was chasing down a bicycle thief, although WI treasurer Gladys Worthington-Smyth was injured by a flower pot.
