I can’t find insurance for my 50cc scooter. Any help?
Hey guys.
Recently I have been trying to find insurance for my 50cc scooter, but I haven’t had much luck. I’m 15 right now, but all of the sites I have tried only insure people that are over 16. My CBT is 6 days after my birthday, so I wanted to insure my scooter a couple of weeks before that giving me time to ride it around a local shopping-malls car park with my Dad to learn a bit about riding. Has anyone else had this problem before, and if you have, what did you do?
Any replies are welcome, thanks!

A recent study found that one in three consumers is paying over the odds for scooter insurance, the AA reported earlier this year. Nearly half of Brits do not bother to seek a number of quotes and one in four renew their scooter cover instantly, without using the opportunity to save hundreds of pounds.
And given that new regulations have increased the pressure on insurers to raise premiums, it might be worth taking one of our 10 steps towards lower premiums.
1. Shop around for the best deals. Insurance broker Benetts found recently that motorists can save more than 90 GBP when renewing their policies, but they need to obtain at least seven quotes to get the best deal, although most people get only three.
2. Ensure that only regular riders are named on the policy. You can always add someone for a few days when they really need to ride the scooter.
3. Protect your no-claims bonus. This may increase the premium by a few pounds, but this fades into insignificance against the potential loss of a 60% discount on a premium of several hundred pounds. But the definition of a protected no-claims bonus can vary widely between insurers. Though accidents caused by another rider will normally have no impact on such a bonus, those caused by the insured could.
4. Increase your voluntary excess. Agreeing to pay more towards the cost of any accident repairs will bring down premiums. If you are not at fault in an accident, the excess can be recovered.
5. Agree to a mileage restriction. The fewer miles the scooter covers, the greater the saving. For example, a reduction in annual mileage of 3,000 miles could save a typical 35-year-old female rider about 50 GBP a year in premiums. A cut of 1000 miles a year could save more than 100 GBP.
6. Don’t add a young, inexperienced rider to your policy, as it’s a false economy. The premium will still be calculated on the youngest rider and he or she will not have a no-claims bonus.
7. If you decide to change your scooter, check with your insurer if the model will have a significant effect on the premium. Sporty scooters can attract a high premium and often a slightly different model or smaller engine can make a big difference in your favour. It will also probably save you on petrol too!
8. If your garage is full of junk, clear it out and use it for your scooter. Aside from the benefit of not having to scrape the ice off in winter, there is a higher risk of theft by keeping the scooter on the road, so keeping it in the garage will be reflected in your premium.
9. Ride more carefully. We all know having accidents Join the Enhanced Rider Training Scheme or take an advanced riders’ course. Both offer discounts – up to 35% – from some of the major insurers.
10. Fitting an approved alarm, immobiliser or tracking device can attract a discount of around 5%.

There are many different reasons to buy a Scooter. Motor Scooter’s are quickly becoming the prefferred method of travel for those of us who live in urban /or city area’s. Think about it, what other way can you legally maneuver around mile long traffic jams? Or what about if you need to make a quick trip to the local store for household needs while the husband or wife is away from the house?
Owning a Scooter is a great way to keep things simple. 1 of the most common Scooters,called the Trikke 3 Wheel Scooter, can actually fold up and fit into its own carrying case! Totally amazing. And the great thing about the Trikke is the fact that it comes in Electric, Gas Powered, and Gravity powered. You can even get a refurbished one as well, high quality refurbishing is a trademark of the Trikke. You can find reviews on the Trikke by following the links in this article.
Another great reason for buying your own Scooter is completely financial. Right now we are all facing tough economic times. Even for those of us that still have our same jobs, things can still be a little tricky. And we hoestly never know when our own company or business might take a hit. Thats what makes owning a Scooter a great financial option. Gas costs next to nothing with a Motor Scooter. And its quite fast as well, reaching speeds of around 50 mph! Not to mention the cost of insurance. many of them do not require insurance – or even a license in some cases. But thats just the gas powered motor scooter.
Many people still prefer the electric style scooter. Yes, they might be a little slower, but even at the slower speed opf the electric scooter, a person can still make quick trips to the corner store or friends houses or even work if its not too far away. And just like the gas powered motor Scooter, the electric Scooter takes virtually no maintenance. maybe a tire or some oil in the Motor Scooter. These Scooters are very convenient, they create such a great option for local travel, its no wonder that they are flying out of the local scooter dealerships. Honestly though, you dont have to worry about going to a dealership.
Buying a Scooter online is easier than ever. And you can find so many more options, at great prices. Its hard for a local business to offer prices that can be found on the Internet. When you buy online the companies can offer great deals, due to the fact that they do not have to order them first, and then charge you extra because of there own shipping fee’s.
Online Scooter stores can even offer free shipping in most cases. Its a win-win situation for the seller -and the buyer.
