Peugeot Vivacity 125
18 August 2010
It’s fair to say that Peugeot have a fairly comprehensive scooter line-up ranging from their budget V-Clic right through to their flagship superscoot, the Satelis 500. They’ve also got a sporty little number with the Speedfight 3, but until now haven’t really had a middle-of-the-road, attractive 125cc commuter scooter at an affordable price.

18 August 2010.

A one-off Typhoon
21 April 2010.
Taking a glance at the pictures of this custom Typhoon, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the owner was a teenager trying to impress his mates. That’s definitely not the case here, because owner Steve Norris, first enjoyed his two-wheeled experience on the back his brother’s Puch Maxi during the 1970s.

KYMCO Super 8 125
21 February 2010.
KYMCO had quite a successful year in the UK in 2009. Despite the gloomy financial news that we eventually got sick of hearing about, the UK importers exceeded sales forecasts, launched new models. To top it all, the Super 8 50 beat off stiff competition to take third spot in a Gadget Show ‘Top five 50cc scooters’ feature.

21 February 2010.
We often get laughed at riding scooters and other twisties by people not believing they’re real bikes. That can make us feel inadequate as we poodle along slowly, but what their bikes can do, ours can do better. To prove that, I’ve just ridden my 105cc semi-automatic Honda trail bike from Sydney to London.

21 December 2009.
It’s always nice to swing a leg over a brand new scoot, it doesn’t matter how many times I ride one and what sort of price range, capacity or style the scooter is, I still enjoy the buzz and this Beeline Veloce GT is cool enough to get kids swarming around it whenever you park up.
