Mopeds for Sale Southampton

For anyone living down on the South Coast and in/toward Southampton, you’ll know how beautiful the landscape is. While many parts of England are beautiful, the South Coast manages to take the breath away as you ride through it. That’s why if you want to enjoy the drive through beautiful countryside more, you should do so on the back of a moped.

At Direct Bikes, we have numerous mopeds for sale in Southampton. Picking out a model that you would like to drive has never been as simple as it is today. With easy delivery and simple choice of selection, we make sure you don’t have to waste hours making your choice. So, why not pick out a model that is perfectly suited to your needs, then?

Finding the right moped for you

The first thing that you should consider when buying a moped is what size of engine you would like. At Direct Bikes, we offer a variety of scooters and mopeds with varying engine sizes.

Primarily, a moped is going to be in the 50cc range. A 50cc moped can be a good choice if you are looking for something comfortable to ride around on. However, at the same time, a 50cc moped can be a good pick for those who spend most of their time in Southampton. If you are looking for something relatively easy to drive, then sticking to 50cc might be a good idea for you.

For the most part, 50cc engines are capped at a top speed of 30mph. This is perfectly suitable for those who are going to be riding around in the city and smaller roads. However, if you are looking to drive from city to city, such as Southampton to Portsmouth, you might need more power. That’s a big reason why we recommend that you look to buy a 125cc moped. Such a moped is easy to drive around on, and it can give you a bit more powerful than the normal 50c engine you might go for.

With a 125cc engine, you are picking up around 60 miles per hour of speed. It will give you all the help that you need to pick up the pace and to get onto the larger country roads. 125cc bikes, too, are more suited to driving on motorways. A 50cc moped, by contrast, is not allowed to head onto the motorway – regardless of what license or level of experience you hold. With double the power given to you via your 125cc moped, though, you can easily pick up the right kind of model for you.

Just considerwhere you will be going, and that can help you make your decision. What, though, should you look to buy?

50cc mopeds

The main thing we would say to anyone looking at a moped for sale in Southampton is that you should choose based on speed. That’s why we have categorised all of our scooters by engine size. This makes it much easier to make sure you buy a scooter that’s fast enough for your lifestyle.

If most of your driving is going to be done within Southampton, then you don’t really need to have any more power than the 30mph limit. In a city, you would find it hard to drive any faster than 30mph. Indeed, most residential areas are going to be under 30mph, so you should have no problem riding a 50cc moped around Southampton.

It’s the right choice of speed for anyone who is looking to keep a steady pace as they make their way through town. We recommend that you get used to this particular side of driving, as top speed is not something you really need in a city. You instead need to be able to brake quickly in the event of a potential. All of our 50cc mopeds can accelerate quickly, but they are also going to be able to come to a quick enough stop. That’s why many Direct Bikes customers in Southampton are happy to go for a 50cc model. They want speed, but they also want comfort.

That’s a big reason why we recommend that if you are looking at 50cc mopeds that you look closely at where you will be driving. If you can get used to the idea of driving around on a 50cc moped in a city, you won’t need anything else.

However, as mentioned above, if you buy a 50cc moped and take it out onto the motorway you might find it hard to keep up the pace that you need.For inner city driving, though, you should definitely take a look at our mopeds for sale in Southampton. Models such as our50cc Retro would make a fine choice for those who want a classically inspired scooter.

Whatever you hope to find, though, the Direct Bikes team can point you in the right direction. Just take a look at what we in-store for you and making your ideal purchase will become so much easier.

125cc Mopeds

One thing about riding around Southampton is that you might choose to head out of the city. And if you do, where can you go?

On a 50cc moped, you are quite limited. It can be hard to reach any of the nearby cities on a 50cc moped – at least in good time. Driving along motorways and the like on a 50cc engine can feel like you are driving for eternity, as well. That’s a big reason why we recommend that you should look to buy a 125cc moped if you want to get to your chosen destination a little faster.

With top speeds of 60mph, our 125cc mopeds in Southampton make a lot more sense for those who drive far and wide. Need to escape to the coast for the day? Now you can – and quickly!

You can easily keep up with the pace of the roads on a motorway or outside of a city. And with a 125cc engine, you can still easily drive around at speeds suited to being in a residential area. You should have no real reason to push your 125cc moped beyond the 30mph mark in a city area.

The main thing that you should be doing is working out what kind of budget you have, though. The budget will be a big determining factor in what kind of model you choose to buy. For example, 50cc scooters on Direct Bikes start at around £959 to £999. For a 125cc model, the prices start at around £1,099. This means that you can easily pick up a model that is going to be in your price range.

With just a price difference of around £100-150 between 50cc and 125cc models, you can make your choice based on what we have discussed above. Just remember that any mopeds for sale in Southampton sold by Direct Bikes are brand new. This means that if you are toying between buying used and new, you can buy a brand new bike through Direct Bikes instead.
