We got rid of our second car some yers ago, replacing it with a 125cc
scooter. It's fine for local journeys and has at least a 100 mile range.
We don't need 70mph because we don't use it for that sort of journey -
why should we want to?

It probably chucks out so much muck that it makes a diesel bus look clean.

If it's petrol (and most are) it that's unlikely.

Especially if its a two stroke.

2/s are being phased out in many fields (outboards etc)

Nobody that uses a scooter or motor bike can claim to be clean.

Even the Vectrix?

And isn't doing 80 mpg on an old 250 motorbike better than doing 10
mpg in an old car (even if neither is clean).

No cats and burn oil.

I think you will find many bikes come with cats, even 50cc scooters ..

And what do we do with the polluted cat when that's finished it's
life?

All the best ..
