Your view: ‘It’s sturdy and fast, but costly’

Stephanie Forester, 23
Law student from Chelsea. “I would not say it's aesthetically pleasing, but I guess it appeals more to guys than girls. I steered my bike into a canal when I was young so I don't feel particularly safe on bikes. It might appeal to some but I would not buy it.”
Jo-Ann Compton, 43
Recruitment consultant from Acton. “It's difficult to manoeuvre as it is heavy. The tyres are robust, good for stopping punctures. It will catch on as there are people who don't want to use push bikes but want to get to places quickly. It is a lot of money, though. You can buy a car for £2,000.”
Antonio Correia, 52
Caterer from Shepherd's Bush. “It feels very secure and sturdy and when you pull the throttle it accelerates quite fast. The brakes are very good. Price is the problem. I am still quite fit and don't need the boost, but maybe in a few years I will, especially going up hills.”
Frey Palsson, 25
Student at Imperial College. “It is great. I've never ridden a scooter before but this gives you a real boost when you go up hill. The problem is it is a bit heavy and a bit funny when turning. I would definitely consider it if they brought the price down.”
