TBH it was the battery lease thing put us off the Zoe when we needed a new small car 4 years ago. I was thinking that we'd keep it until retirement (15 years) then sell as a cheap small car to a new driver / cheap second car - but who would buy it with a £70 a month lease on the battery? Plus, £70 buys a lot more petrol than we use in the Citigo we bought in the end. |

As far as I know the hire ones are the first ones that are legal. They're allowed anywhere you can ride a bicycle. Only becuase the company hiring is responsible for them and they are legit speed and power limted within regulations. Most of the ones that are around (there's a lot of others in Bristol) are not legal as they aren't limited. I regularly see a couple of people pass our shop each afternoon going incredibly fast up the main road overtaking all the other traffic!

I saw a kid on one of these a few weeks ago.
They looked really good fun and I was up for getting one, until I googled it and saw the price. https://www.rideandglide.co.uk/produ...BoC23gQAvD_BwE Too much for a toy.

![]() If it means less traffic on the road I think they're a good idea for big cities, definitely dangerous though.
