Can you ride a bike with only one arm?
And anyway, you're a recluse according to your next question, so why are you bothered about going out?

There are only two types of vehicle you can legally use on British roads without a driving licence: pedal powered and electrically powered vehicles (not hybrids).

You would need to talk to a police officer or the department of licensure in your area. I know that in the case of my cousin (who was having seizures) he was banned from driving and as a result had to be driven places and give up his car. It would not have been safe for him to have a motor bike or anything. He was even banned from buses (in his area he was only allowed on the handicapped bus and then only with someone else to make sure he was okay, so they just drove him). Good luck in your search.

The law relating to this dates back to 1983, and covers what you can legally use on public roads in the UK.
The limits are: 200W continuous power (250W for tricycles and tandems), 15mph maximum assisted speed, maximum weight 40kgs (60kgs for tricycles and tandems).
As long as your cycle is within these limits, and you are over 14, you can ride your bike legally on UK roads with no restrictions. This law is laid down in the Road Traffic Act, and the police have the power to enforce it.
Hope that helps.

Get a bike.The only thing you could drive on the footway is an electric wheelchair and that's a lot slower than a bike.

Bicycle..thats about your lot.
And..if you work for a company that needs to take a Fork Lift Truck or any other such equipment on a public highway..I don't think you can even drive those either..

There's electric assisted push bikes. They had one on the Gadget Show a few weeks ago.

Did you know you get done for being in charge of a bicycle whilst under the influence of drink so i do not think there is anything you can use

So... why are you banned from driving? Stupid isn't it - you're now left with this dilema.
All I can say is a bike - that is it - not motorbike - a bike, or walk. Nothing else.
