The Daelim B-Bone scooter is a stripped-down, commuter machine aimed at urban riders.

Bit... dunno... cheap looking, build quality-wise

Think i'd be more inclined to go for something european and with a fairing as far as scoots go than be jumping out of a car onto a bare bones 125.

Does a really good job of getting rid of all the advantages (?) a scooter has as a commuter tool.
No weather protection or luggage capacity.

Then again, might be a good cult machine for the kids on the estates.

At just £2199 on the road the B-Bone is available in three different colour options - Red with Black frame, Black with Red frame or White with Black frame and comes with a full two year parts and labour warranty keeping you on the road and ahead of the traffic.

Thats a shitload of money for nothing. Theyshould have called it the Dire Straights 125.

Agreed - having ridden my son's scooter a bit recently, the real benefit is in the plentiful and capacious storage areas .... which that thing doesn't have.

Fail !

They could be right !

They feel all wrong, are underpowered and can't keep up with traffic .... and we put inexperienced 16yr olds on them.
The authorities are bonkers - the kids would be much safer on proper bikes - like the 125s they have to wait to ride at 17

Agree wholeheartedly with that. Although there is a place for 50cc, they just need to remove the restrictions on power output.
