Police seized a Frankenstein-like ‘vehicle’ in Inverness this week.
The contraption in question turned out to be an e-scooter with an exercise bike attached to it.
The hybrid was being ridden through the streets of Inverness on Wednesday, October 30.
Police posted to social media a picture of the strange mode of transport next to a fence, confirming it was being ridden without the relevant documents.

The post then jokingly remarked: “Yes, that is an exercise bike welded to it”, in reference to the accompanying picture.
It’s illegal to use a privately owned e-scooter on public roads, pavements, cycle lanes, or in pedestrian-only areas, according to official rules.
This is due to not being able to insure such a vehicle.
Officers confirmed the rider had been reported and the e-scooter/exercise bike hybrid machine seized.
