Why I own a Zipee

The best purchase I ever made over 6 months ago was a Zipee.
What's a Zipee you may ask..Well, it's the love child of an ordinary bicycle and a moped.
It only goes up to 15 miles per hour but on London, that is all you need. I beat Porches and BMWs on a regular basis.
They zoom passed me at top speed only to see me pull up alongside them at the lights.
What's better about the Zipee is the fact that you can carry a passenger so I take my 7 year old son on the back of the bike to school!
He loves it!
Ever since we visited Thailand last summer, where everyone and their four family members travels on one of these bikes, my son has begged me to get one..So I did.

However, traveling on a normal moped I found restricting, especially the helmet which I felt restricted my all round vision. On top of the fact that the engine sound was deafening!
I found a quieter solution which didn't hurt my pocket,
ear-drums or the environment.

The Zipee was definitely the solution for me!
Would recommend it for anyone who enjoys the freedom of a
bike and the versatility of carrying a passenger - legally!
