Thank you!

 

We have received your request and will get in touch with you shortly.

 

IF you are here, it is no doubt because your son or daughter is telling you that they HAVE to get a scooter to get them to school/TAFE/Uni, because all their friends have got one, and if they don't get one they'll be "Marty No Mates".

Well here's the thing: It isn't actually a bad idea. There are plenty of very good reasons for giving your teenager a bit of independence, but we've discovered that there are good ways to do it, and not so good ways. Do it right and you'll discover that they build personal responsibility, maturity and independence, do it wrong and the results can be at best simply financially wasteful, and at very worst tragic.

There are a few things that you need to consider, and as a parent myself, I'm not pulling any punches. If this comes across as a lecture, I apologise, but you've made a significant investment in getting your child to this age safely, and we are as interested in protecting your investment as you are.

What you need to know about licensing. One of the reasons that its worth considering a scooter is that the rules for ge [...]

Riding a scooter has more advantages than you might initially realise. While some advantages are very much depending on your individual situation, some are quite obvious and apply to all of us. So lets consider some of they key ones and you will see why we are so passionate about scooters. Financial advantages. From an economic perspective, scooters WILL save you money. That's a gimme. Most of our scooters will do over 30km on a litre of fuel, which is generally 3 times as efficient as the most efficient cars on the market, and compared to many of the bigger capacity fuel guzzling SUVs and 4WDs, you might get 5 or 6 times the economy. For the first time in your life, going to the servo will be a joyful experience, and that pleasure never wanes! And because of this efficiency they are actually cheaper than public transport too. And you won't be stuck next to someone with a cold. Or annoying music on their headphones. Lets not forget parking. How much are you paying for that on a daily basis? Many employers who provide paid parking often have some space available f [...]

Are you are starting to think about buying a scooter, but don't know where to start? Then this is the page for you. We've brought together a lot of the combined wisdom, and added our experience, to help you start to make inroads into determining what's right for your needs. 1. CHOOSE THE RIGHT SIZE OF SCOOTER Given the multitude of scooters that we stock, starting from various 50cc mopeds up to the mighty 850cc Aprilia SRV, where does one start to make the right choice? Well the first thing to work out, is what size of scooter is required to cover your needs and take it from there. Read more how to chose the right size of scooters here. If you intend to buy a 50cc, read what to look for here. 2. KNOW WHAT LICENSE YOU NEED Equally important to chosing the right size of scooter, it is of no use if you are not allowed to ride it. If you've already got a motocycle license, you can r [...]

CALL US FOR ALL YOUR ACCESSORIES NEEDS HELMETS It’s important that you wear a helmet that is safe and well fitted. A helmet should fit snug on your head and not be loose. But be wary, there should not be any pressure points as they would become painful and could be a safety risk once you ride. With the Australian Safety Standards changing, now allowing some European Standard helmets for legal use, you are spoiled for choice.   Don’t buy a used helmet as you won’t know the history of it. Helmets don’t last forever and on average we believe you should update every three years. Never wear a helmet with a frayed strap or cracked visor. GLOVES, JACKETS & FOOTWEAR GLOVES: Not only do gloves protect us from the seasonal extremes but also nasty bees and wasps that land on our hands at the traffic stops. But the main reason is protection in case of an accident: Imagine not being able to use your hand (or both of them) fo [...]

MAXI TOURING SCOOTERS  TRAVEL IN COMFORT, CONFIDENCE AND STYLE

Imagine you can combine the power of a motorcycle with the convenience of a scooter. That's exactly what Maxi Scooters are about: Relatively large bodywork that offers great protection from wind & weather, comfortable seating where you can stretch your legs. Most of them fitted with larger wheels (15" and bigger) combined with a powerful smooth engine, you get all the confidence on the road to cruise in executive style mode and cover longer distances - even at higher speeds on freeways and country roads.  

THE KYMCO DOWNOWN 350 IS THE MASTER OF ITS CLASS

A Maxi Scooter gets you around town, provides huge under seat storage that manages almost any shopping trip easy and still much more enjoyable than in a car. Larger engined scooters are the masters of the freeway: With 300cc and above they are effortless at speed, even with a passenger. You'll feel comfortable eating up the kilometers and still be very economical in fuel consumption as well as maintenance costs in the long run. However, they might be less ideal around town where it's narrow and very busy and they might r [...]

One of the most commonly asked questions we are asked is "What's your cheapest scooter?" Before answering this question, let's ask a question in return: What do the following brands all have in common? Baotian, CMC, Eagle Wing, EMC, Evader, GVT, Gamax, Giamoto, GT, Jianshe, Lifan, Motobella, Motovert, Nope, NSU, Ozooma, QJ, SCP, Torino, Zongshen, MCI, Adly, to name a few?

Well, these are but a few of the "no-name" brands that have all been available for sale in Australia over the last years. And as far as we can make out, they aren't available any longer or are on the way out of their usual 3-4 years lifecycle. This means that if you've unfortunately bought one, you've probably found yourself in the unfortunate position of being unable to get spare parts, unable to find a dealer to do anything more than a basic service, and struggling to get someone to buy it off you. And this list is probably just the tip of the iceberg - there are plenty more brands and models arriving mainly from China and Taiwan all the time, and disappearing again just as quickly. Unfortunately, we get around 4 - 5 poeple coming into our shop asking for parts of brands like the ones above or some we haven't even heard of ye [...]
