An obvious electric motorbike and yet it has bicycle components. How is it allowed to be sold unregistered ?
Most of the comments on Faceache are berating the rider for getting caught, that's the really worrying bit. We are in the realms of losing Policing by consent.

As I wrote in #445 I saw the young boy and girl again today zooming up and down on the "Surron" type bike whilst waiting for my granddaughter to finnish school and it was obvious they knew some of the school pupils coming out. The usual zooming up and down then back into the estate. I can only guess the parents must know as must the neighbors. All so blatantly obvious. The girl this time trying to hide her identity with her pink top zipped up over the bottom of her face. The boy, just laughing his cock off !

As Waspy said in #532 "For ten years the police totally ignored them (and e-scooters) but now they're having a Blitzkrieg on e-cyclists".
The Genies out of the bottle now gonna take a while to get it back in...........
