Joanne,
If you wish to ride a 125cc bike/moped/scooter you will need to do a cbt and ride with L plates, although you will not need to do cbt if you are only riding a 50cc bike as you have had your license before feb 2001 but still will need to ride with L plates.
hope this is helpful.

I wanted a black retro scooter, but unfortunately Direct Bikes had run out of stock so ordered a blue one instead. It was delivered promptly. I got more than what I expected, they included a free top box which is handy. Got it out of the box and on the road. Been riding around for a week. All great, will keep you updated.

My scooter arrived yesterday. It’s totally amazing. Better than what I expected. Build quality is good. Good storage under the seat, can fit my helmet under there or in the top box. Can go faster than on the website. Not sure how Direct Bikes makes any money at the prices they charge. I’m not complaining though. Looks great. Started first time. I forgot to order a lock, so keeping the bike in my garage, just in case.

I live in Spain, wanted a cheap scooter to get around. Although Direct Bikes wouldn’t deliver to Spain I had the scooter delivered to a friend in Northampton. Took it back to Spain on my motorhome. Have been riding it for 6 months now. Perfect for getting me around town. Good bike at a nice price.

Got my pretty white scooter last week and am so, so happy. Thank you so much

I’ve been hankering after a scooter for years but simply refused to pay a premium for style. After being recommended I went to scooter.co.uk and bought one – remarkably cheap compared to other makes. I’ve only had it two weeks but it’s glorious and, touch wood, will keep me happy for years.

Hi I’m thinking of buying from Direct Scooter = how’s yours running now – any niggles ?
-
No niggles.. but from time to time you may find some problems.. Anyway it’s running well though.. For the price you pay I think it’s a good option.

Thanks Glenn thats really useful – have you had to call on the warranty and if so how did that go for you ?

Hi Erica, My hubby got one from direct bikes last year to use for work whilst I was on mat leave and I needed the car! it has been great, no probs whatsoever, really cheap to run – costs £4 to fill the tank, £15 to tax for the year and looks great too – ours is a 50cc sports sccoter in black. really east to register too with dvla. don’t know if you are interested but we are now selling it as i am back at work and we both work at the same office so we are using the car together now – hubby is gutted! The insurance we pay is £19 a month. We are also including a black sporty helmet (worth £40) an outside all weather cover and a top box, screen and a dead lock too! Let me know if you are interested before I advertise it – we have all docs, booklets, paperwork and it is in excellent condition and has only done 500 miles!
We are asking for £400 for the whole lot – the bike cost us £600 delivered, the helmet and other accessories cost over £100 and we will tax it for a full year for you too if you are interested. Hope you get one either way – they are wicked!!!! Thanks, Julie -
Hi Julie i’ve been trying to find a cheap scooter to use for comuting into London just like your husband when i came across your comment. i don’t suppose you’ve still got the direct bikes scooter for sale, it’s been quite a while now.
Thanx

Hi guys, I’m looking to buy a Retro 50cc from direct bikes as they are *almost* cheaper than a second hand piaggio!! I’m gonna be going to europe on a moped for about 6-8 months in new year so I need to know how you guys are getting on with these peds, have you had any problems with reliabilty? Do they start first time etc…. I need to know any little issues to consider whether it is truly worth buying one of these little bikes. Dont forget ANY problems if any! Theres barely any info on the web about these bikes so any first hand info you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You just need a 12 volt battery charger. The ladies at Direct Bikes told me that it’s best to charge the battery for 24 hours when first get it

-
When I registered my scooter, all i had to do was fill out the forms that direct Bikes sent me. you have to get a couple of other forms from the dvla, but you can just download them from their website. pretty easy.

you can try http://www.scooterinsurance.co.uk for direct bikes scooter insurance quotes.
As a middle aged woman, who has had a full driving license for over 20 years, do I need to do a CBT on a 125cc model bike? Can I just put L plates on and go? How long does it take for number plates to come? Would a 50cc suit me more? I want to ride about 40 miles each day from home to work around Greater London? I live in a block of flats, so will have to leave the scooter fixed to some railing outside, will that put up the insurance greatly? xx
