Is this for real.
Doesn't even have disk brakes.
Or more to the point is it actually legal.

Bit different to the old French offering

For real? Yes, probably.

Legal? Almost certainly not (in the UK at least).

I know someone who has a 2 stroke engine cobbled onto an MTB.
It's fun, but utterly illegal, and no chance of ever getting an MOT.
Wouldn't touch it with the proverbial...

What someone actually bought it.

 

[e-rider]

9 sold in 24 hours from one seller on ebay

if it was legal I'd buy one - less than £100 for the kit - bargain

Not legal in UK - you create a moped and must follow all the rules and regs that involves. Most are even oversize engines to be classed as a moped.

It is a Solex. When I was a kid, I used to ride one. It goes on for ever with just a drop of petrol. Top speed was about 20 miles an hour and you had to pedal to help it go up hills. When I was in Annecy last week, I saw loads, updated , more modern design of course. Ah, t hat brings back happy memories.
