Hot toy this year electric scooters.. new stock just arrived TODAY in 3 colours..Red Blue or Black. 100 watt motors.


Now these are cheap so no assurance they will last but they are being sold on Ebay and other places for a lot more or as reconditioned, these are new from a good retailer and sent by UPS for next day.

Blue Scooter
Red Scooter (picture wrong)
Black Scooter

These item numbers linked above are from the Christmas special flyer, valid until 31/12/12, if you search the website you will find them at a higher price (different code)

Scooters are £39.95+ delivery (£4.25) + vat (£8.84) = £53.04

Delivery is free for orders over £45 excluding vat so you could order other stuff to take 39.95 over 45. Lots of interesting things onsite, check out the Christmas shop pages for example or buy some light bulbs or batteries? - you name they may have it somewhere onsite.

If you buy 2 scooters then price is only £95.88 inc. vat and delivery.

CPC give 5% casback via Topcashback don't forget to go via TCB or other

Too late? nope CPC ship same day by next day courier...


One last point, these have normal small scooter front wheel, some of the other electric ones have a big front wheel which will ride bumps better. If your kids is a bit wild this may not be ideal as speed and bumps may mean crashes. If they are OK going fast on a normal scooter should be fine on these - but please make it a rule they wear a cycle helmet always. - probably won't last long going up and down curbs much either - child needs to look after more than normal scooter

Mine are with UPS tonight... :T:T:T:T:T:T:T.. if only it would take my weight so I could have a go!!!

Arrived today and had a look at them. Pleased to say CPC are shipping better ones than those advertised! They are sending out the latest 2012 Scream model, 120w motor instead of 100w, 24 battery, kickstand, rear brake (safer than front brake) resettable push button circuit breaker, much better than changing fuses used on older scooters.

They look great, can't wait until the kids see them on Tuesday.. hohoho!

If your implying some sort of connection, you can check my hundreds of other posts for any other mention of this supplier. Yes I am enthusiastic as I think this is a great bargain! 2 x latest 120W scooters for (with cashback) £45.94 each all in - I believe the cheapest anywhere... MSE.

Make sure the kids don't go out in public on them.

from: http://reviews.ebay.co.uk/Road-Legal-Electric-Scooters-amp-Bikes-Ebikes-Guide?ugid=10000000008060743 (my highlights)

...
A vehicle is considered to be a motor vehicle if it is outside the scope of The Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycles Regulations 1983 due to the motor power output, speed up to which power can be provided, weight, or that it does not have pedals by means of which the machine can be propelled. It will need to be registered, licensed and taxed, insured and the rider will need an appropriate driving licence and will have to wear an approved motorcycle safety helmet.
Four wheeled vehicles and vehicles propelled by an internal combustion engine are also considered to be motor vehicles.

Machines resembling a child’s scooter, but which are fitted with either an electric motor or an internal combustion engine, have been determined by two High Court judgements to be motor vehicles within the meaning of The Road Traffic Act 1988.
...

IIRC this is what killed a budding craze off last time (10 or so years ago (?)) Most of those that wanted one were youngsters so didn't have a license and the few old enough to have a license couldn't find anyone who would insure them.

Thanks, I knew about the legal issues. To be honest we live long way down the end of a long close, the chance of a police patrol coming down here is about 1 in a million, and the chance of the officer being remotely interested are even slimmer. Also our local park has a major cycle track circuit and is tolerant to them from speaker to the wardens (these things only do 5-7mph plenty of other traffic doing a lot more)

My son was after one of these & I checked with local police who said they could only be used on private land & if used on paths, roads, parks could be confiscated.

They actually do approx 10 mph, which on a little scooter is quite quick & know of 2 children who have come off & broken bones, so as fun as they look, make sure you have correct safety gear.

Nope not 5-7 mph: your own link says the 100w version does 16kph which is as near as makes no difference to 10mph and one assumes an extra 20% increase in power will translate to something similar in speed (electric motors tend to be linear)

The Law states that a mobility scooter must be restricted to 4mph on pavements and a max of 8mph on the road. I know some do whiz up and down pedestrian areas but the fact that they aren't stopped (until they hit and seriously injure someone) doesn't make it ok for them or for others to mimic them.

I'm not trying to be a killjoy, I'm sure I would have loved one as a child. But now, as a more responsible adult, I definitely wouldn't want kids zooming around on these in my "quiet" close or next to my kids on the cycle track.

They are now shipping these.... quoted as 12kph = 7mph, more wattage does not mean more speed automatically as it depends on gearing it usually just means more torque so copes with slopes better.

I hear what your saying, but my kids wizz around my close and the park on far bigger and heavier bikes and at a lot more than 7mph. I think I would prefer to be run over by the scooter! My kids are very well behaved and will be instructed and monitored to use them sensibly or they will quickly lose them, I can think of a few kids I would not like to see on one though!
