City Mantis Folding Bike

This amazing machine is electrically powered yet is classified as a bicycle and does not require MOT/Tax/Insurance to use on the roads.
Another one over the cops!

It has a range of approx 18miles and will get to 16mph (Eventually)
It also offers an innovative fold-up option, making it one of the most portable electronic transportation devices money can buy! Weighing it at around 20kgs.
The City Mantis takes around five hours to charge, but if you're down to half-power, 40 minutes' charging is enough to get you back to full power.

Why is it pointless?

Three hundred quid buys a lot of cab fares.

Why is it cool?

Even for the feeling of beating Red Ken's charge and the coppers, it's worth every penny.

Recent case of DPP v King at the Court of Appeal found that this counts as a motor vehicle and requires insurance and a licence to be ridden on the road- just a warning!
