How can this be legal? - are there exemptions that we can exploit?
As per the title, this looks ideal for a short commute.
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Many years ago I remember seeing several bikes with a small petrol engine driving the front wheel via the tyre

It's legal if it's registered, taxed and insured. A shop here used to sell the kits a few years ago but I never saw one done legitimately
and the police crushed the ones that weren't road legal.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Why not do it with batteries instead.
Chap at work has one of those electric hub motors, but have a great stack of lithium batteries on a rack at the back. It is mental (illegal, but not
many of the police will know the difference between an Amp and a Volt).

Isn't it just a form of moped, not a lot different to the old Raleigh Wisp (basically a shopper with a petrol engine)?

It would have to be registered, taxed, insured, tested, etc. if you wanted to (legally) use it on the road.
It's Evolution Baby!
