Just ordered a scooter from Direct Bikes for my daughter for Xmas and I wanted to get some insurance quotes on go compare but can only find the recommended Rampdale that do these bikes. Can anyone recommend any other companies so I can get some comparisson quotes or is this the only company. My daughter is 16 and waiting for her provisional lisence and only has her EMA at present to pay for it (not that she knows yet). Found the quote was alot higher than I thought and when I upped my excess to £100 and had it in a locked building (my house)the the site froze and said they could’t help me. Was thinking of fully comprehensive, mmmmm. Can anyone help.
Thank You

Thinking of ordering the 125cc Lynx scooter from Direct Bikes, need something to commute to and from work on that is cheaper than running a car, trip is about 8 miles each way. Anyone had experience with this bike and would you reccomend it for this?
Hi Gina
Direct Bikes says that Bennett is a good site for insurance. I’m not sure how much it is, and I don’t think they give you the quote online.
I’m also 16 and in the process of getting a license and moped… I’m not sure if my parents are nice enough to pay the insurance cause I don’t think I can handle that, but let me know what the quote is so I can have a ballpark figure.
i am looking to purchase a moped from direct bikes and when i came across this website i was over the moon. but i would like to know if their are any problems with the sports scooter 50cc.
got my bike from direct bikes and its a pleasure to ride although it seems to slow down on its own for no apparent reason when im on full throttle. apart from that its a wicked bike and is nippy too XD
I got my scooter last week, it comes in a steel frame to prevent damge in delivery. all i had to do was fit the battery. it took around 5 minutes to sort out and then it takes a few hours to charge. im really happy with it, just need to register it. cheap insurance, cheap moped and good quality *****
I’ve got a 50cc scooter from direct bikes. I’ve had it for about 13 months and it’s still running well. I definitely recommend them for getting to and from work. Good little bikes, they are.
