    I had to get something my daughter could ride, so we bought a Lexmoto Cypher. As you're all money saving experts you might be interested to know that the running costs are incredibly low.  It's electric, so there's no road tax, very little that can go wrong in terms of repairs and the electricity costs 1p/mile - so a 50 mile round trip would cost 50p in "fuel"!

    The bike is one year old and cost £1795, and the only monthly cost to speak of is the insurance.  I'm paying £28pcm then it'll probably treble once my daughter's added.

    Also, it'll save me petrol and mileage on my car every time I use it. Cheap fun!  What more could I ask for?
