When the petrol price goes up once again, we all hold our breath. How will we get to work? How will we pay the bills? The answer is right in front of you; buy a scooter from a motorcycle dealer.
Whether you just like the feeling of wind through your hair, or you need something no-fuss to get you to work and back, Scooters are an inexpensive option. Although they don’t provide the protection of a car in an accident, they are extremely fuel efficient and you have the opportunity to whizz past a traffic jam. South Africa has a range of exciting Scooter products, ranging from the very affordable to the chic and sleek.
What can you get for under R5000 ($500) that will transport you in style without a drop of sweat? There is only one answer to that question. The Vuka EL90 is the cheap option for scooters, and it looks great too, even a little vintage. You can imagine yourself dashing through narrow stone alleys in Italy on this dependable Vuka. The fuel capacity is 4.5L with a weight limit of R100KG so riding two on this one is not an option unless you are both on the small side. It’s available in classy black or silver and comes with a free one year warranty.
The Vuka XT150 is on the opposite end of the scale from the EL90. This sporty beauty retails for R10 999 and comes in racy red or yellow. The best part about owning a scooter is how much you are going to save on fuel; something we all think about in these troubled times. The XT150 will take your for 32km on just one litre of petrol.
If you really want to go authentically Italian, Vespa’s scooters range is just for you. The GTS300 Super is new to South Africa and available in Montebianco White. For the ladies, it’s perfect to wear with those white stilettos. Vespa GTS300 gives us convenience with a touch of class.
In Vespa’s lower end range, you’ll find the Vespa LX150 scooter, available in almost any colour you could wish for
and retailing in South Africa for just over R52 000. For those who live along the beach, the Capri blue is just what you’re looking to match your Hawaiian shirts. The Dragon red is all that is promised; fiery and striking. These scooters come with a one year warranty on unlimited mileage so feel free to motor across great distances.
Another advantage of well-known scooter brands such as Vuka and Vespa is their good resale value. If you decide to upgrade to a car or better scooter at a later stage, you shouldn’t find a problem putting your two-wheeled beauty up for sale at a decent price.
