Thames Valley Crimestoppers - Minimoto campaignMany people don't realise that you have to have the same legal qualifications to ride them as for any other vehicle: licence, tax and insurance. Without these documents, they can only be ridden on private property with the landowner's permission.

We designed a poster that we put up in Reading and Milton Keynes to explain the consequences of using mini-motos illegally.

They are an anti-social nuisance in lots of places and our campaign to tackle this in Reading resulted in the number of complaints being halved.

Following the Milton Keynes poster campaign, we organised a media event to show how seized mini-motos are destroyed.
