For the most part, the best thing that you can do when buying a moped or scooter is know what you are looking for. You have quite a few questions to go over in your head, and we’re going to help you make the right choice.

What’s your budget?

First off, set a clear budget in mind before you go and look at any scooters mopeds for sale. It’s easy to get carried away and to invest more money into your scooter/moped than you would have wanted. Try and avoid getting caught up by a bright sales pitch or a big FOR SALE sign.

Every vehicle that we sell at Direct Bikes comes with a tremendous price. Our 50cc scooters start at just £959, while our 125cc scooters start at only £1,099. This gives you tremendous value for money, and will make sure that you can get way more bang for your buck if you choose to buy from our store.

What’s your riding experience?

We recommend that you take a look at your riding history, too. Do you have a history? If not, you should probably look to make a smaller purchase. For example, those who are not used to riding might find that starting out on a 50cc moped may make the most sense. These are the ideal starting point for most people who have never ridden any kind of scooter before.

You should always take the time to look at the driving requirements, too. For a 50cc scooter, you could be driving this from the age of just sixteen. So long as you get your provisional and pass your CBT exam, you are permitted to drive (with limits). Please note that even with a full driving license, you cannot go on the motorway with a 50cc moped.

We recommend that you take a look at buying a scooter or moped for sale from Direct Bikes regardless. We have many scooters & mopeds for sale for every skill level.

What’s your ideal top speed?

Another factor to think about is the kind of top speed that you would like to do. The top speed of your scooter is determined by engine size, which is measured in Cubic Centimetres (CC). A 50cc moped for example should be able to hit a top speed of around 30 miles per hour. Meanwhile, a 125cc moped might just be quick enough to hit around 60 miles per hour.

Both 50cc and 125cc models give you excellent opportunity to get used to driving, though. With one of these models, you are buying a bike that is going to be able to give you high top speed and safe handling. For those who want to keep up a high top speed without worrying about not being able to stop in time, both 125cc and 50cc models should give you an excellent starting point.

Where do you intend to drive?

What do you intend to use your scooter or moped for? This is more important to consider than you might first think. Driving a bike means that you are driving something that is suited to a certain kind of riding. For example, do you want something that you could use for inner city driving and deliveries?

Then you should look at buying something like our125cc Spyder. The Spyder offers excellent handling, great top speed, and a reliable enough amount of storage. This makes it perfect for any delivery driver who is looking to get out there and make a few deliveries without wasting any time. If your main aim is to buy a scooter that lets you go on motorways and the like, then you need something with a high top speed. Rule out most 50cc mopeds if you need to drive regularly via motorway.

We recommend that you always look to buy new if you can. If you choose to buy from Direct Bikes, you will be buying a brand new scooter or moped guaranteed.
