I saw a weird looking (electric) scooter last night, with a ‘single side swinging-arm’

I’ve never anything like it before

I remember seeing one a while ago, and thought it very fancy. It always reminds me of a Ducati. Though it might be that it's not really done as a weight saver, but more to boast about on the website as a cool feature

The majority of scooters had a single sided 'swinging arm' these normally had the engine, gearbox and transmission mounted on them too. You couldn't see these as they were behind the body panels but both wheels on a Lambretta/Vespa were 'single sided' and held on by studs and nuts to the hubs

This one also had 2 x taillights
Not just the usual central

They were, maybe, a foot apart

Possibly belt drive?

I had the windows down, it had an 'electric sound'

Today I was out for a RoSPA training ride and as I pulled into Choppers Cafe carpark a red tyre warning light came on the dash. After hitting the kill switch i could hear air escaping from the rear tyre. A flint had cut into the middle of the almost brand new Michelin Pilot 6. I deployed a previously unopened motorbike Dynaplug thing. It took three darts to plug the hole, I inflated with my Michelin rechargeable pump. I rode back home and 8 hours later the tyre looks fully inflate, I will check it again tomorrow.

Strangely this ride was setup as the other tutor also had a flint inflicted puncture last wee. He was carrying a Rema Tip Top tyre repair kit, which we were unable to fix his with and he had to wait for the AA who tried bacon strips, screw ins and finally plugged it with a mushroom From stop n go.
