"I don't need one of these" (repeat until temptation passes)

  • Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Anyone remember the Corgi scooter? They were parachuted down in WW2 for rapid deployment of airborne troops. I fancied one as a kid, but by the time I was old enough for a licence, they seemed to have disappeared. I still fancy one: so much more style than a mobility scooter.

Do zombies ask for MOTs? Or are they fairly lax on rules and regs.?.

I'd never heard of them before, I can see why you fancied one though.

You can get some nice add-on electric motors for bicycles - one that slides down the seat-tube and meshes with a special bottom bracket, for instance. I know e-bikes are limited to 12mph, but if you have a motor in your rear hub and give it some beans as well, you can do way more than that - assuming that you can't get a non-limited motor on Ali Baba or modify a UK one. Far less likely to get police attention than a lawnmower engine thudding away under the saddle, too!
 
So add 15 to your pedalling. Some forms of motor won't work in an additive way (a motor sat on your tyre pushing it around won't be adding anything if you pedal faster than 15mph). However I think using a hub motor you could combine drive and pedalling.

Or alternatively find a way to bypass the limiter, like all those kids with scooters did in the 90s.
 
Or for those of with mobility issues (or those who are just plane lazy) we have another option. the tank chair.

I keep trying to let SWMBO buy me her one so she can come out

That's really cool.

I used to work with a guy who had a specially made electric chair ruggedezed(?) for playing with an airsoft team. this thing was awesome! it had 2 guns attached to the sides, with an armrest for controlling the chair and an armrest for firing the guns. :cool:

I can only imagine that would have looked like what's below, but on caterpillar tracks. Cool indeed.
