Is this the right place? Why isn't there a light in here?
Anyway...... On Tuesday next I collect a lovely 2nd hand electric scooter.
It has two battery packs and each can shove the scooter 25 miles, so I will be able to go anywhere along the North Kent Coastline and still get home. Hopefully.
It was new last year, has travelled only 300 miles, and its owner's excuse for selling it is that he doesn't now need it to travel in to the London Central (emissions controlled) area.
The thing is, Petrol and Diesel powered vehicles are coming under quite a lot of pressure here, what with rising road tax, rising fuel costs, serious fuel supply problems, increasingly tough emissions tests and increasing restrictions on where IC cars are allowed to go, and although we'll keep on keeping on with our little Suzuki Jeep to the very end, we've got to get an electric car one day. E Cars are still very very expensive and so I asked the Missus if we could try an Electric Motorcycle as our secondary vehicle, and would she still be prepared to be a pillion passenger on one. She said 'Yes', for emergencies only.
