Fleet manager Mike Wise explained: "We have more than one million cars on our books, and we replace their tyres at our centres. So we know what wears out first - and it"s run-flats."
The bike"s two-stroke...
The bike"s two-stroke 50cc powerplant is finely tuned, and belies its small capacity. Open the responsive throttle and this compact stunner provides impressive performance, making it perfect for nipping through gaps on clogged-up streets. Our derestricted test mach-ine, which drivers can ride on a full car licence once they"ve completed compulsory basic training (CBT), hit a heady 55mph indicated top speed.
Couple the excellent engine to fine handling, a comfortable seat and ample room, and you"ve got a decent traffic-beater. On the downside, the dash is hard to read on the go, as it"s tucked away behind the handlebars. The projector-style headlight isn"t really bright enough, either, and there"s no space under the seat to store a helmet. Still, we love the sharp brakes, sporty handling and competitive price.
