Scooters for sale Edinburgh

If you head to the Scottish capital of Edinburgh, you’ll soon find that driving about here can be tough if you use a car. The streets are often quite tight, so getting around Edinburgh can be tough. Despite being wide enough for traffic, the sheer volume of people moving around the city can make it feel really busy. If you are not a fan of being in a busy town, then you should absolutely look to make a positive choice and buy a scooter. Sitting in a car all day is not good for your health, your wallet, or the environment!

So, why not look at some of the scooters for sale in Edinburgh? At Direct Bikes, we’ve got a whole host of brilliant scooters.

Our various scooters that you can pick from come in all kinds of sizes. We’ve got top quality models that suit everyone from the racer to the slow-paced rider. From something to get you to and from work to something you can race around in, we’ve got many great options.

Scooters make the ideal choice for any rider who wants to make driving through Edinburgh more fun. You have more freedom, more control, and you aren’t held victim to long traffic queues. With prices starting at only £959 for a 50cc scooter, you can make riding around a much more enjoyable experience once again!

Are scooters suited to life in Edinburgh?

Yes! Scooters are so fun to drive in Edinburgh. We sell many scooters to people from the Scottish capital, helping them get around their day-to-day business easier than ever. With high top speed, consistent acceleration, and expert handling, our models keep you on-time, safe, and in high spirits. Add in the fact that you can get a delivery in just three working days from making your first payment, too, and this is a brilliant starting place.

While a car can be quite an expensive thing to drive due to the cost of petrol, scooters are often much more efficient. Our scooters give you at least 100mpg, if not more!

With a scooter from Direct Bikes, you can make the normal complexity of driving so much easier to overcome. One thing you will often find is that a scooter will ensure you can stay comfortably in the right spot in traffic. No longer do you have to try and jockey for position; with a scooter, you can zip right through.

How much are you willing to spend?

The first thing to work out is how much you are willing to spend on the vehicle in the first place. Depending on the size of scooter that you look at, you should have a price in mind. Typically, our 50cc models start at £959 and our 125cc models start at just £1,099. Our prices are made to ensure that you can get a brand new scooter whilst paying a much more reasonable price. This helps you to get on the road quickly, easily, and without having to spend through the nose.

We also offer a solid finance program, so you can easily get up to sixty months to pay back the full value. And with a maximum borrowing amount of £5,000, you can easily buy more than one of our scooters for sale in Edinburgh.

However, with Edinburgh, the thing to remember is that you are often limited by speed about where you can go. So, don’t buy something that is a speed demon – you likely will not get the chance to maximise its potential. Instead, make sure that you spend money on a scooter that can get you around the city without any issue. That often means a speed cap of 30-60mph is enough.

That’s why all of our 50cc and 125cc scooters are great for life in Edinburgh. You can easily stay in a safe speed in the city, and then pick up the pace once you get to the more open rods. This makes them great for journeys both in the capital and out!

Have you driven before?

At Direct Bikes, we help many people take their first steps to becoming a rider. When deciding what kind of scooter to buy, consider whether or not you drive very often. For those who are not regular drivers, scooters make excellent sense!

They are easy to learn. So long as you go and sit your Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) and get a provisional motorbike driving license, you can drive a scooter for up to two years without your full test. All of our scooters are perfectly compatible with a new rider who is CBT-passed.

While you could not have a passenger and you cannot take off your L plates, you’ll get the time you need to learn how to drive. If you are sick of using the public transport system in the city to get around, a small 50cc scooter could be just what you need. It’ll be fast enough to get you around, but slow enough to give you total control. If you want to drive without fear, a scooter in Edinburgh makes plenty sense. You’ll also find it much easier to get parked up in the rammed city centre.

Are you based in the city?

As you look at our various scooters for sale in Edinburgh, you should be thinking about where you are based. For example, have you got to travel across a motorway to get into the capital to work? Then you need a full driving license. The CBT we mentioned above cannot allow you to go on the motorway; so please remember that before making a purchase.

If you are not based in the city, then you should definitely look to pick up a 125cc scooter. The main reason is that if you buy a 125cc engine, you can go to speeds of around 60mph. Our 50cc engines are clocked at 30mph. Take a look at our excellent collection of scooters in Edinburgh, and you’ll be sur to find something suitable for you.
