Frequently asked questions

licencing

Scoot2Commute's Scoot50 can be legally ridden on a car license in Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory, subject to certain conditions. These conditions include that speeds should not exceed 50km/h, and the scooter should not be taken on four-lane intersuburban roads. Other states require a motorcycle license for all sizes of scooters.

The obvious benefit of obtaining a basic automatic-transmission motorcycle license is that you can step up to a Scoot 100, as the 80km/h top speed means you can easily handle most surburban and inter-suburban roads, yet still achieve great fuel economy.

speeds

Scoot100 easily reaches a maximum speed of 80km/h, while Scoot50 will happily whiz along at 50km/h. Both Scoots are perfectly at home easing through traffic at walking pace, thanks to their fully automatic Twist-and-Go transmissions.

servicing

Scoots are supported by a full spare parts and maintenance program. Servicing will initially be carried out at 1000km. Service intervals for Scoots are 4000km or 12 months (after the first service at 1000km, or three months), and typically cost less than $150. Tyres cost less than $80 each, amazingly good value compared with other motorcycle tyres.

maintenance

Service intervals on Scoots are 4000km (or once a year for most owners), after the all-important first service at 1000km. The oil level and tyres pressures should be checked each week, as well as the brake fluid level in the reservoir for the front disk brake. The correct operation of the lights and indicators should be visually checked weekly also. That's it. Easy!
