The minimum age requirement is 16. cc - If you’re an advanced rider or need to go on roads above 30mph, such as A-roads, a 125cc scooter is more suitable although you can’t take passengers. They are not restricted and can reach 65mph. You need to be 17 to ride one.

How can I de-restrict my 50cc scooter?

Bar Italia Scooter Club - FAQs
The basic ideas are simple enough. Most begin by removing the restrictors from the exhaust-system. Usually you must remove a small washer welded inside the exhaust-system. If that isn't enough, you can try a high performance exhaust-system. Some good brands are LeoVinci, Arrows, or Giannelli. If you have done these things you must replace the original jet from the carburator, for a bigger one. Another place that may have a restrictor is the variomatic (automatic transmision).

How often should I get my scooter serviced?

Electric Scooters, Scooter Batteries, Scooter Chargers, Scoo...
Modern scooters require very little in terms of servicing. The motors are sealed and require no lubrication so apart from making sure that the batteries are regularly charged and the tyres maintain good air pressure (approximately 35 psi) there's nothing more to do. Usually such services will include standard checks and cleaning of connections, battery leads, motor brushes and charging units as well as checking tyre pressure. We undertake all service work ourselves, using trained technicians.
