Novel Moped Sighted.

I ridded past this thing on the road this morning and it was weird. I
have had a google but I cannot find anything like it so I am assuming it
was a home-build.

It looked for all the world like an old style moped: a push bike painted
in aluminium paint with what sounded like a 10cc 4 stroke doing it's
best to propel it at about 20mph on the flat. I didn't actually see the
engine but I came away with the impression it was hub driven!? Anybody
got any clues what it may have been?

 

Dunno, but I bet Nick is about to post to complain it overtook him!

 

A Velosoex?

Nah not that, it had a lot of rear hub and that was where the noise
seemed to be coming from.

Summat like that.

 

One of these ?

That is just so ugly it is untrue. What were they thinking? I mean, it
is a cracking little toy designed by a British team, why spoil it with
appalling styling?

Actually I think I have a clue here

From http://www.envbike.com/

env has been produced... "... to express it's parallel natures..."

Well I am sorry Mr Nick Talbert, env's design director, but that is just
so much unmitigated shite. You should have had a wop do it proper in
the first place.

Now that looks seriously cool. What I saw wasn't one of those.

 

Rope says...

They go really well with a 70 kit fitted.

I watched the manager of one of my customer's shops stunting one round
their car park a few weeks ago. Seriously cool little bike.

 

Is there a version with a race fairing?
