Get your (petrol) skates on

Illegal petrol powered roller skates are “flooding” into the UK, apparently. They have a 25cc engine and one litre fuel tank on the right boot, whilst the left freewheels. I have visions of poorly balancced people (like me) doing high speed pirouettes around the left boot. They’re illegal pretty much everywhere as well, so I don’t know where people could go to play with their black market skates.
