Here's a good compromise if you hate public transport, are terrified of cycling but you're not wedded to your car and you want to reduce your carbon emissions: the EcoMoped!
This moped is powered by electricity, cutting pollution caused by petrol - and if you have a green electricity supplier, it also means your transport will create zero or low carbon emissions. If you're tempted then now is the right time to order - not only is using a moped more enjoyable in the summer when you can enjoy feeling the sun as you ride, but for all orders placed before the end of April, EcoMoped are offering free delivery, vehicle registration and colour-coded top box.
