Noel Edmunds' company Unique has launched the Qpod -- a kind of mini-quad bike that looks almost like a Smart car.
The two-seater is powered by a 340cc air-cooled engine, producing a top speed of over 45 mph, and is designed for both on and off-road work.
It's designed to be easy to drive with automatic transmission and hydraulic brakes, so you could, presumably, let your older kids gain early driving experience. If it rolls, there's roll-over protection, along with other safety features.
The four-strong range is dubbed Sport, Fun, Work and City, according to the Web site. The cheapest is the City, costing £3,145 plus VAT.
