When buying a car, you likely test it first. The same goes for scooters and motorcycles: sitting on it, feeling the ergonomics and seat can confirm your decision. Test riding is an even better way to decide.
We encourage customers to take the scooter or motorcycle they like for a longer test ride. This helps reveal its strengths and weaknesses clearly and boosts confidence in making the right choice. Our goal is to sell you the scooter that best meets your needs, not just the most expensive one.
OUR TEST RIDE FLEET
We offer over 50 models of scooters and motorcycles. While we can’t have every model available for test rides, we maintain a selection that represents the range. A comprehensive demo fleet lets you experience these vehicles firsthand. We consider it essential, as we would expect the same if we were customers.

TEST RIDE TERMS & CONDITIONS
Test riding one of our vehicles, you are insured for Third Party Liability, Damage, and Injury while using our vehicles (insurance terms apply).
- Bring your Driving License with the relevant class noted for the test ride.
- You must sign a Test Ride Disclaimer Form on the day of the ride.
- A Security Bond and a Service Charge may apply, according to Terms & Conditions outlined below.
* I understand and accept responsibility for any personal injury during the test ride. Ace Scooters & Motorcycles recommends wearing safety gear, including an approved helmet, jacket, and gloves.
We can provide helmets, jackets, and gloves for test rides, but you may feel more comfortable using your own riding gear.
* I am responsible for any damage to the vehicle while in my care and agree to cover repair costs up to $3000 but not lower than the security bond. This applies immediately, regardless of fault or resulting legal proceedings.
* Ace Scooters & Motorcycles may claim additional damages beyond repair costs, including administration fees, transport, legal expenses, and costs related to vehicle replacement and depreciation.
We do not have the staff to accompany you on a test ride. It means we will hand over the vehicle to you in top condition and you can take it for a test ride at your leisure for a reasonable amount of time. Depending on the risk associated, we may require a security bond before handing over the key to one of our test ride vehicles. The security bond will be collected either in cash or via pre-authorisation on a card prior to the ride. It will be refunded the same day of the test ride if the vehicle is returned in the same condition.
The security bond is based on two categories:
Vehicle that are LAMS Approved or can be ridden on a Car License (R-E or C class)
- Under $7000 of value: $500 security bond
- Over $7000 of value: $1000 security bond
- Over $12000 of value $1500 security bond
High risk and high value situations
- All Sports bikes: $1500 security bond
- All Open Class (R ) class bikes: $1500 security bond
- Test riders with Learner License (R-E or R class) – Must be accompanied by a Riding Instructor: $1500 security bond
Please note that the security bond may change at any time at Ace Scooters & Motorcycle’s discretion. It may be waived for regular customers who are known well personally.
To cover insurance costs as well as fuel, maintenance and registration of our test ride fleet, a small Service Charge for the use of our vehicles may apply.
Note that the service charge will be refunded if a vehicle is purchased within 14 days from the test ride.
The Service Charge is normally $35, but can change at any time without prior notice.
We all had to start somewhere: Therefore, in general we allow learner riders to test ride our vehicles if it is for a R-E(A) or for an R class vehicle and, you can demonstrate a confident level of riding skills.
Note that a higher Security Bond might apply (as insurance excess is higher in case of an incident) and the rider must be accompained by a Licensed Riding Instructor.
We may reserve the right to refuse test rides at any time.
