I think it must be a Q pod ( just googled to see what you were talking about ) that a young guy around here whizzes around on , is it 50cc minarelli or the like ? looks great fun but TERRIBLY unsafe in his hands . he seems quite ok about the fact that he has turned it over "many" times . the sides and indeed the roof are quite badly scuffed where it has scraped the road surface ! he stops and chats sometimes when my cars are out and i hear , and see, the latest scrape with death - he's and absolute headcase

it is sad, but like I said earlier they do seem to appeal to a slightly different type of person to a micronaut, and they have possibly been designed to appeal to the "fun" element rather than any real "usefulness". Just like Quads, which do have uses but are very often used just for mucking about. To be fair though, once bubbles and micros of the 50s and 60s had been used for a few years, people would pick them up for £10-£20 to have a few larks in, and many ended up trashed in fields.

Has he the racing edition, the Senna Pod? Was he given it at Chrimbo in a hurry? Mine would be slow and marching on its stomach.

Hi all just added a Q POD to my little collection has anyone know anything about these and if anyone has one in the Suffolk area.Thanks Gary.

I had the four-wheel version (340cc Lombardini engine) a couple of years ago.  I've recently found the information pack that came with it and will post it to you if you PM me your postal address.

Regards
