Just realised. The dash includes mph on the speedo. Could be just for continental riders visiting the UK, but might it mean official imports?

Also it gets keyless start and the dash includes a "battery remaining" display. Handy if this is for the normal bike, essential for a hybrid variant.

Not sure if the MP3 does this, but at very low speed the tilt mechanism locks automatically to allow for stopping without putting your feet down.

All part of the standard electronics these days I suspect. They probably use the same chips and other instrument electronics as other scooters.

Looks better than the MP3 but I find the Yourban nicer looking. This Pug has a very clumsy looking front end. I expect itll sell like hot cakes in France, as they are very patriotic and love MP3s.

Cant see it ever coming here, not a chance unless Pug let the car importers bring them in and sell em at Pug car dealers.

I take it this isn't a car licence jobbie like the Yourban, you'll need a full motorbike licence? :?:

Apparently, the car license nonsense is going to be scrapped so everyone will need a bike license.

When I went to the Mersea scooter rally I was surprised to see an MP3 LD and a Yourban so it seems some people like cheating. ;)

Very unlikely to change retrospective licencing due to all the inherent problems with it.
