This is an Everest & Jennings electric scooter from the early 1980’s, one the early popular scooters to arrive in Britain. It is a 3 wheeled, front wheel drive machine, with a simple 2 forward and 1 reverse speed control. The seat is height adjustable (like an office chair) and has armrests that tip back out of the way. there are still a number of these machines in regular use today.

This machine was kindly donated to me by a customer (who was glad to get his shed back). it was in fairly good condition and did not take too much work to restore to it’s current condition.
The machine is in a running condition and goes as well as they ever did. It has the usual old electric motor power whine and seems very sluggish compared to a more modern machine. The steering feels very heavy, probably because the handlebars are very short and upright, this with the weight of the motor to turn as well does make it a bit of an arm muscle builder.
