Things might be different in Wales, but you're not going to see that put-putting around Richmond Park in London.
That's interesting, here in California (USA), the exception is a Mo-Ped .. this particular motorized bike requires no driver's license, yearly registration, or insurance ... it does need to be licensed for the street.. on mine, there was a one time purchase of a plate (good for the life of the bike).. and a helmet is mandatory (as they are on motorcycles and scooters) .. to be considered a Mo-Ped, it must have pedals and be able to be ridden without engine assistance.. legal in bike lanes too .. mine's a 1979 Vespino SC (Super Corsa
) .. 49cc ... fun ride for a change of pace.
