Take it this is not a Vespa or Lambretta you are talking about.

I have had a TGA Breeze 4 scooter for the past three years and found it to be a perfect machine, I am a paraplegic. Buy quality not necessarily the cheapest - like most things in life.

I hired a Nero 8 for a while after my accident to get around town.

Great little thing!

I didnt buy one though, I hired one for a massive £1 a day for about 6 months.

Was that a one off special price Dan?
Hardly worth buying one at that hire rate
After two years when the batteries get a bit tired
Swap it!

By the way could it get up the Khyber?
