Cafe Lumiere gets electric transport


As you will be aware, Café Lumiere takes environmental concerns very seriously and does a reasonable amount to publicise new initiatives to save fuel. It should come as little surprise, therefore, that the café has recently invested in its own electric transport – yes its an electric scooter.

This rather funky little moped can do up to 30 miles and has a range of 20 miles. As a result, it has just enough range to get me to work. I hope to use it regularly both at uni and at home in Sussex. Here are a couple of pictures of this illustrious vehicle. I bought it on ebay and I am pleased to say I got it for a very good price! As it has a free tax disc and costs around 5 p to fill up, it should be economical as well.

In the mean time though, I need to book up something called CBT (compulsory Basic Training) which will enable me to go and ride it on the road; watch this space.

NB the model pictured is the same colour and model as the one I have purchased.

I like it. Obviously, it is a bit slow, but no more so than any other basic moped. Where can I find out more about it?

very nicely presented website

lots of bikes, but I am unsure whether the webpage is updated very often.

and of course, www.ebay.co.uk
