As this scooter is classed as a tricycle does this mean that as long as a person has a full car license, they can just buy one and use it without having to do any motorcycle courses.

How happy an insurance company would be to cover you with only a car licence I couldn't say.

I think this bike is the future.
So many car drivers I know won't make the switch to a scooter for commuting or city work because they would have to do the CBT etc. With this, then can just buy and ride.

I'd be interested to see the stats on accidents / casualties involving those who ride this sort of thing without training, and those that ride with.

Wanting to get around doing "any motorcycle courses" is mostly missing the point. It's a bit like trying to find a plane you can fly without having any formal training - it's never going to end well...
