Try a car accessory shop, poss Halfords, they used to sell radiator hose repair tape. Should last you until you get the new hose.
Here ya go:

Depending how tight the bends in the hose are and how much space is available, you could just use some of this stuff

Well you could always buy my "spare one" and run that until yours is fixed. And then sell whichever one you fancy.
Just a thought....

cut the pipe then sleve it with copper or other metal tubing
stick a punture repair patch on it the a jubilee clip over the patch to hold the pressure
self amalgumating tape might work with a jubilee clip
I am sure you will find a way

Might be the same as a Piaggio X8/Xevo 250? Worth a try!
