Wonder whether we will get a Norton version, complete with Lucas electrics??

Is this the future?
 
saw these things all over Germany last fall, so this new world considers this mobility... but the cop will stop you if you are riding 2up...

They are all over the big cities around here. Nobody wears helmets except the rare kid riding with his parents who insist.

I fell on one just running over a sidewalk crack/bump - NOT FUN.
 
Don't get me started on these fucking things.
In NYC we have "revel" electric sit down scooters, plated and registered rentable vehicles with "subscription".
Idiots ride them like bicycles. No helmets, running red lights, stop signs, riding in bike lanes. Apparently it's all OKAY on a Revel, but any motorcyclist caught lane splitting gets a ticket and points.
Miserable things.
 
If Darwin's right (and I'm not opening THAT debate) we're heading for skeletal legs and HUGE thumbs (and a neck set at a downward tilt!)...
 
Yes they are a eye sore around our city, there are 2 major players in our city and they are all over the place, so many people showing up in the ER from crashes and serious injuries from them or people getting injured from being hit or run down by them, when the first company that set up the scooters had major brake problems and people were getting hurt from being spat off them, they had to fix that problem, it seems money talks and our city council are getting a slice of that to let them operate, we use to have a clean city but these things are just left all over the place, just sign of the times people are just getting more lazy.
