What to Do When Your Scooter Breaks Down in London — Easy Bikes - Motorcycle Rentals, Recovery, Sell

A breakdown can happen to any rider, and on busy London roads your first job is to stay safe.

Get safe

Move off the road if it is safe to do so, switch on hazard lights and stand well away from traffic, especially on fast roads such as the North Circular or A40.

Quick checks

Is the kill switch on run? Is the side stand up? Is there fuel? Is a warning light showing? On automatic scooters, check you are pulling a brake lever when pressing the starter.

Common causes

Flat batteries, punctures, snapped CVT belts, fuel problems and electrical faults.

Call for recovery

If the bike cannot be ridden safely, call recovery. Easy Bikes recovers motorbikes and scooters across London and can take the bike to our sister workshop for repair.
