Fun funky ways of getting to work

[Cockney_si]

Is there anyone that goes to work in / on something that is better than a car for personal transport?

Thinking about fun ways of getting to and fro work which is fairly cosy and cheap to run.

Beat me to it pug! I love going on one of these and did a tour round Wellington, NZ earlier this year on one. The guy who was the guide said he used his to come to and from work every day. Although they cost about �4000, the running costs are really low (plug it in for a couple of hours a day).

I remember when the BMW C1 first came out, not sure about the concept of having seatbelt on it though, scary if you fell over.

To be honest they look a bit top heavy to me, wouldn't fancy cornering in the wet on one of those lol

These look quite fun but not sure if they would be practical around town centre back streets...lol
