    Do you want to do both...

    Scooter can be bought on the net or other spots, you can strap a 80cc motor onto your mountain bike and electric/ battery packs....

    Scooter, illegal, you'll be done for driving with no insurance. Will impact your car/motorbike if you have one. Talk of a law change but might never happen.


    Pedelec kits are available, simplest is the Coppenhagen but thats 2K

    But you can get a chinese special for a lot less.
