    Having come from riding step-throughs in London back in the day, I'd say go do a CBT and get one of the bigger bikes that can do 45mph or more. 50cc peds limited to 30mph were ok at first, but you quickly realised they were an accident waiting to happen. Impatient cars do the stupidest things. The extra power and speed of a 125cc would get you out of all sorts of trouble. That bigger Maeving looks much more like what you want IMO.

    There's an electric motorbike specialist in Teddington if you want to try some bikes out.

  • I'll have a look at the Teddington place, I used to have step- throughs back in the 80's too so I'm no stranger to mopeds. I cycle into London most days albeit around 04 to 05:00 so if I was commuting the roads are virtually empty. I really don't want a bigger bike, I just love the look of the motorman.
    I'm lucky to be at a stage in life where I don't need anything, but if you want something (within reason) well life's too short .......
    Edit : just had a look at the Teddington shop , there's a wide choice but it does confirm that for me it's definitely the look of the machine !
    Just looking forward to the test ride now !
