wheels too small on top one - you'd be over the bars if you hit a pebble.

The X-1 electric vehicle can drive 10 miles for just £0.10p

This is kind of moot, as you'd probably get crushed by a 36 ton truck after about 5 miles.

First one looks like the offspring of a supermarket trolly and a zimmer frame. I'm actually old enough to have "driven" a C5, it was dangerous.

seen somebody riding something that looked identical to the top one around reading a couple of times! seemed to be carrying a fair bit of speed... definitely keeping up with other cyclists in traffic!

Sorry no refunds.

Christ that'll make you in your 30s.

If you live in UK and work in the UK you may qualify to purchase the X-1 with a price reduction of up to 50% via Government run, [b]cycle to work scheme[/b]

SOLD.

To be fair, he has addressed the safety issues;

...built in front and rear lights...

Hasn't that top one been around for ages already? Designed as something you can use whilst tube/train/bus commuting to speed up that extra couple of miles you may need to take at either end. Not for long journeys.

Where I used to live it was a 20 minute walk to the station with no room on the train for a bike. I could have done it in 5 on that thing and carried it like a shoulder bag once on.

Front and rear disc brakes provide 100% stopping power

Blimey! How things move on! No more dragging your feet on the tarmac to slow down!
