Scooter or Motorbike for Commuting in London? — King`s Bike | Motorbike Service | Motorcycle shop

Two wheels are one of the fastest ways around London. Which type suits your commute?

Scooters

Automatic, easy to ride, with storage under the seat and good weather protection. Ideal for short to medium commutes.

Motorbikes

Better for longer distances and faster roads, with more choice of riding position and performance.

Running costs

Both are cheaper than a car in London, and motorcycles are exempt from the congestion charge. Servicing costs depend on the model.

Maintenance differences

Scooters need belt and roller servicing; motorbikes need chain care. Both need regular oil, tyres and brakes.
