Buy Scooters

When it comes to learning how to buy scooters, it can often feel as if you have simply too much to learn. At Direct Bikes, though, we look to take out the confusion for you. By working with you to help you choose the ideal model, we are here to help you buy mopeds, scooters, and bikes that you can start riding today.

If you worry that you will be spending too much time trying to get your head around what to drive, then fear not. We have some great information here that you can use to your advantage when it comes to buying a scooter. If you are looking to buy a scooter, then we have six things in particular that you need to think about.

Try and take the below into account when it comes to buying a scooter from our store. Should you need any more help or information, though, we are a simple call away!

What can you spend?

The first thing that you need to work out is what your budget is. The amount that you will pay will be determined by a few things, including:

• The condition of your purchase; is it a new scooter? Or an old scooter that is used?
• Th quality of your vehicle in terms of the brand that has created it.
• The location of your bike and where it is being manufactured/sent from.

If you would like to make a good choice with regards to budget, then you should take a look at getting something in the region of £959 to £1,099. These are the starting price that you get when you buy from our store. This should give you plenty of choice, and it should also make sure you can easily buy a scooter outright. With one of our scooters starting at such a low price, you could easily buy something brand new today!

Be sure to set a budget and have a budget in mind with regards to things like insurance and tax.

Where will you buy from?

Next, you should take the time to look around online and see who is selling scooters that you can buy. We recommend that if you want to buy scooters which are affordable and brand new that you go with ourselves at Direct Bikes. We have some excellent choices for you to pick from, and each choice should go a long way to helping make your life a little easier.

We also recommend that you look to buy scooters from our store if you want simplicity in deliver. All of our bikes and scooters can be delivered to you locally. It saves you a lot of money having to go and collect the bike, and it means you know when it will be delivered. With Direct Bikes, you can pay a small delivery cost and have your bike brought to you. That’s much easier than most other options when it comes to delivery from elsewhere!

What will you use it for?

The next thing to keep in mind is what kind of model you will be using and what you want to use it for. Do you intend to use your bike for a personal use? Or for professional use?

Keep this in mind. For those who want to use a scooter for the latter, you might need to step it up to a larger engine (more on that below). This should give you some ideas about what you need to think about when it comes to buying a scooter. Keep in mind that anything you buy should be powerful enough for the need that you have of it.

Pick based on the power level

For people who are new to buying scooters, we recommend that you look at buying one of two classes. At Direct Bikes, we can help you to buy either a 50cc moped, or a 125cc moped. 50cc mopeds are quite limited in power but make a fine choice for beginner drivers and those who don’t need top speed. Limited to around 30mph in terms of speed, a classic 50cc scooter from Direct Bikes could be used to get you around the local area.

We recommend that you look at going for 50cc if most of your commutes take place in your own city. If you aren’t worried about having to contend with motorways and the like, this should work out perfectly.

You should also look to try out a 125cc model if you want more power. Capable of speeds of around 60mph, they can be much more impressive from a speed perspective. So, keep that in mind as you move forward. This is more suited to those who need to take on things like motorways, which you cannot do if you drive a 50cc moped.

What about long-term value?

One thing to consider when you look to buy scooters is their long-term value. Good quality scooters should come in brand new condition. When you buy from Direct Bikes, you know that you are buying a top quality bike that promises lasting long-term term value. Not a single model that you can buy from our store will be used. Every time you buy scooters from us, it’s brand new!

Buying a particularly used model means that you might need to go about repairing it. Even with those repairs, though, the high mileage plus the lack of warranty is likely to put off a fair amount of buyers. With 1-year warranty provided with our bikes, you don’t need to worry about that at all. All of our bikes are brand new, and covered for that first year of ownership – even with unlimited mileage!

For those who want to buy something that they could ideally sell again in the future, you should look to buy brand new. Used bikes often come with problems that you have to resolve. Unless you are either flush with cash or mechanically minded, this can be a huge expense. It might actually eat into any savings made that you would have got if you bought a used model over a new model. With the great price of our new bikes anyway, you don’t have to settle for second hand!

If you ever want to pick up a quality bike for a fresh price, then you should look to buy from Direct Bikes. It’s never been so easy to buy a scooter online, and to put the purchase through without any stress. We can make sure that you get to spend more time enjoying the purchase, and less time waiting. With delivery in just three working days from your payment arriving, too, we can get you riding ASAP.
