STEP 1 – Scooter training
Contact Central Bikes and we can talk you through what you need to do to be able to legally ride a scooter. We can reccommend a training centre local to you, for your CBT and other bike tests.
STEP 2 – Buying a scooter
Making the right choice of scooter is really important and all depends on what you will be using your scooter for. For example, a 50cc would be suitable for short commutes but you might want to consider something bigger like a 125cc for longer distances.
Next to consider is whether to buy a new or used scooter and of course there are advantages to both. We always have finance deals (hyperlink) available so starting out doesn’t need to be as expensive as you may think. If you are on a budget, we always have a selection of quality used scooters Visit our Scooter Sales (hyperlink) section for more details or get in touch.
STEP 3 – Legal Documents
Ensure you have all the right legal documents in place for your scooter or bike. This includes:
• Road tax (included when you buy any scooter from Central Bikes)
• MOT (included when you buy any scooter from Central Bikes)
• Insurance cover (When purchasing a new bike, you will need to provide a Certificate of Insurance)
STEP 4 – Getting kitted out
It’s important to get the right clothing when you start out on two wheels. We will guide you through everything with an honest hand sorting through the ‘must haves’ such as helmets and gloves to the ‘added extras’ including security and accessories.
STEP 5 – Enjoy and share
Enjoy your two wheels experience and the freedom it offers. Join our central bikes community for special offers and discounts through facebook, twitter, and our blog pages and pass it on…
STEP 6 - Maintenance
Keep hold of one of our cards should you need any services or recovery. Don’t forget to renew your road tax and insurance annually and book in for you annual service and MOTs.
