That's ace, but I'd want the car as well for 5 grand!

[ZedLeg]

Prices are mad for Motocompos because they hit that spot between car/bike collectors and folk who just want cool stuff.

50cc, that must be an exercise in patience and misery to actually use!

[ZedLeg]

50cc will move you around at city speeds alright, as long as you aren’t too big

They have (or had) a convertible one as well

I had a 52cc scooter which I stuck a Ferrari badge on when I was probably 10, I remember it being slower than my bicycle disappointingly. But it was alright on pavements. Fuck driving a 50cc on an actual road.

It was broken, a 50cc bike will to 40mph no bother

Or perhaps it had a single speed gearbox, like the motocompo...

[ZedLeg]

Apparently the motocompo will do 18mph. You must’ve had legs like Chris Hoy if you could do that on a bike when you were 10

[Mito Man]

I reckon it did 15 and I could beat that, definitely downhill and the South Downs was all hills. Both me on bike and on scooter uphill were also similarly shite though
Also it was one of these scooters rather than of the bike variety

[jamcg]

18mph is faster than most rush hour traffic in central London surely

[integrale_evo]

I’d love a motocompo. Another of those toys I should have bought 10 years ago when I had no money but have now hit the collectors / modern classics / retro zone.

'we also have available the small Motocompo motorcycle that fits inside the boot'
reads like it doesn't come with the bike.

[ZedLeg]

I think they're selling it separately as they know they'll get more for it.

[nuttinnew]

^ Yep, same as the silver one. I'm not sure if they originally came with the cars anyway or were just an optional accessory.

I have a growing, nagging feeling that I'm going to end up switching the 7-Series for a Continental. I bought the 7 for commuting but that's just soooooo 2020 now. I can't see myself doing that again so the (relatively) good fuel consumption doesn't matter any more. Keep the luxury but add a regular frisson of excitement about whether it'll start or not.

They're temptingly cheap. Don't buy that one though. MoT history suggests that it hasn't, as the ad states, been "maintained regardless of cost" and somehow managed to reduce the mileage by nearly 30k miles between tests. Must have been a long drive in reverse (#FerrisBueller).
