When you make the decision to start looking for a scooter, please come in and talk to our Dunedin team ... they truly are a friendly and helpful bunch of people. Ask your questions and get some good answers ... we recognise that we cannot offer every brand of scooter ... but we can offer down to earth, common sense advice and point you in the right direction so you can go and purchase the "right scooter for you".

The reason is quite simple ... 50cc 2 stroke scooters have more power than 50cc 4 stroke scooters ... this fact is generally accepted by everyone in the scooter industry ... and Dunedin has more hills (including the steepest street in the world) than many other cities in New Zealand. This article highlights the key differences between a 2 stroke and 4 stroke scooter. Click to read article |
