Is This A Motorcycle?

If he can walk off and gurn like that,I daresay he'll survive. It could easily have been very different.

Looks like a 'funky' disabled scooter, oh also looks like you need to clean your camera lens

Edit, yep , google lens to the rescue https://www.mobilitypower.co.uk/product/bz500/

From what I remember reading on mates AR50 headstock waaaaay back when above 3 KWh and 30mph topspeed made em a motorcycle.

My Fizzy at the time was an old one so was a bit faster from when the regs were a bit looser.

Coincidentally I've just seen a post on Instagram that appears to be showing (Italian?) Police testing an electric scooter at the side of the road.

In the UK lots of elderly and disabled people use them for transport but I am not sure that they are legally classed as Mobility Scooters
because they are capable of doing 15mph, the manufacturers fit a switch to limit the top speed to 8mph which they say makes them
a UK legal Mobility Scooter.

Green Power who sell most of these scooters have a terrible reputation for after sales support and the scooters are always going wrong
from welds snapping to electrical problems.

I don't know for sure but the police appear to be dyno-ing the scooter. I guess to check for illegally fast ones?

I wonder if the police were trying to make a point?

I'm just impressed when I get overtaken by a scooter doing 40mph ! He probably won't need the police to sort him out an ambulance is more likely

Or a hearse.
