Scooter sales have taken off in post-lockdown Britain. Sales in July were up by over 50% compared to 2019 as former commuters turn their backs on public transport. Why sit on a crowded bus or train, packed in alongside weirdo’s or smelly so-and-so’s when you could be out on the open road, ejoying your freedom?!
It is estimated that a fair number of these sales can be attributed to existing bikers taking advantage of great dealer offers to purchase a cheap and easy commuter bike, but is also a fact that CBT bookings have also doubled. This means plenty of new bikers now enjoying their first experience on two-wheels.
Many people think that scooters are small, low-powered, unimpressive vehicles. That is not so at all, scooters such as Yamaha’s TMAX or Suzuki’s Burgman have really raised the bar, and of course you can still buy the likes of Vespa if you prefer classic looks.
The attraction of a scooter is obvious: easy to ride, big comfy seats, generous storage for lids or shopping – much more practical than a motorbike! Not to mention cheaper insurance and running costs.
