I got my direct bikes 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 *****
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

Hi,if anyone has bought a bike from Direct Bikes could you tell me just how flat pack it comes,how much is there to put together as I have no idea on mechanics whatsoever.How many pieces and what pieces need to be assembles,any help would be gratefully received.
thanks
hey, you can’t fit two people on the retro one. you can fit 2 on all the other 50cc direct bikes scooters though
I’m trying to choose between the 50cc scooters from direct bikes, has anyone got the retro? can 2 people fit on it?
My wife went to CIA insurance(£90), 08448889001 as they were the cheapest and buy a thatcham approved disc lock and chain lock set on ebay for £83 together at time of writing. Direct bikes recommended insurer is very expensive.She bought the 50cc sport and all thats required for registration is a insurance certificate and the bike must go to dvla for inspection(only direct bikes) due to their past history of allowing people to assemble brake&wheel components which are safety critical and supplying bikes with KM per hour and not Mileage speedos.These bikes are cheap and basic quality but for the price it’s the old addage of “you get what you pay for”.Use good quality oil at services and weekly wipe the scooter down with wd40 on a rag or mr sheen to clean components&prevent rust which was on the bike fresh out the box.Treat it kindly and look after it and this should be a fine scooter for the price.When on your property or a secure carpark, use a moped cover to keep it dry in winter as rain will cause lots of problems on the throttle and other moving parts and especially switches.
Just wondered where anyone gets there scooters serviced. I am thinking of buying 1 but want to know if there’s an authorised service agent in the York area ? have tried emailing direct bikes but got a response saying thst as I am not a customer they cannot tell me that information !!
Not a good first impression from a customer service point of view.
Can any one tell me where they get insurance from as I have had trouble finding places that recognise the bike, also is the make just direct bikes?
thanks
Bennett’s is supposed to be good.
Ordered my scooter from Direct Bikes last week, it was all assembled and the price was too good to miss. Registration took a few days but other than that, everything is excellent and I’d recommend the company to anyone looking for a cheap scooter.
I’ve been trying to find a cheap scooter to use for comuting into London, how are direct bikes?
My direct bikes scooter is fantastic! I’m enjoying the run – great range for a little amount of petrol. A dream of a bike – and lots of admiring glances!
i am thinking about buying the 50cc sports scooter from direct bikes, does anyone else have it? does it run well? any problems? and how much is insurance for it? thanks
