Residents has been left baffled by a bizarre vehicle spotted on Kent's roads.

The quirky three-wheeler was pictured near Camber and has been seen in various places across the county, including Hythe and Lydd.

Images of the vehicle were posted on the Hythe Residents Group on Facebook, sparking debate on what it could be.

Daniel Knapp said: "I saw this near Dungeness. I had that moment of 'what the hell is that' as it came towards me!"

Some speculated that it could be a "delivery robot", adding: "They have them in Milton Keynes too."

Will Coleman said: "It must have an engine as it was going quick towards me."

Others were glad to see that they weren't the only ones to have spotted it.

Susanna Godden said: ""I am so happy to see this!! Totally wasn't making it up!! Literally the hardest thing to try and explain."

Another person joked: "Top Gear are filming down there at the moment".

While another user quipped: "Desperate times with all these train strikes."

But Robert Bailey appeared to have the answer to the mystery.

"It’s a covered recumbent trike," he wrote.

"Velomobile is a popular brand. Incidentally to all those that said robot / delivery bot, they don’t have rear view mirrors!"

According to velomobileworld.com, the "human-powered" vehicles can achieve speeds of up to 30mph "with little effort" on flat roads.

The website adds: "Velomobiles are very suitable as commuter vehicles, for shopping or holidays, [and] also are a good way to clear your mind while taking a tour or a road trip with your friends."
