Did work on a couple of Dutch Motorised Push Bikes......True Mopeds.
The engines were smaller capacity than this.Possibly 25cc.
Only managed around 15mph.

But of course had to be Registered,have number plate fitted,Taxed,MOT'd and insured.
And Motorcycle Helmet had to be worn.

This one would have to be registered as a Motorcycle not Moped........over 49cc.
And appropriate liscence

Yup, I know the old fifties cyclemotors can get mot's but I do wonder if a "new" pushbike could pass? Can any mot experts spot what they would fail on or would they get away with it...?  ???

Without having one infront of me cant really say.
Daytime only MOT of course.
Horn could be a problem as it has to be continuous. No bells or bulb horns for more recent machines only on pre-1973 I think it is.

I'd be OK on all three counts:

  • always got the horn
  • has a bulb at the end
  • circa 1960

Do I win a prize?

I'll get my dirty mackintosh.......
