    Just put a bid in on this one as it's only in Wimborne! Thinking Max might like it for herself. :thinking:

    I found foldy 2 similar but different
    Was 15 miles away..

    We wish! That would mean we’re living to 130 years old. I’d say old age denial! ;)

    0B622B82-5662-4BCF-8177-5501E4C8CC3C.jpeg Here’s my ‘foldy’.
    Great fun. Use it to get around me mates house. Pretty good on some of the steep hills around here. Goes quite far on a single charge, too.
    It was given to me.
