Petrol Scooter Information

[Jakus]

What is a good brand and model petrol scooter to buy. If you can help can you also tell me the pricing and if there are any stores in Melbourne where I can purchase one. My price range is roughly $500-$1000.

*snip from Vicroad website*

Miniature motorcycles/ monkey bikes
A miniature motorcycle must not be used on public roads, footpaths or nature strips because they do not meet registration standards. Whilst a miniature motorcycle can’t be registered, any person who rides it on a public road without a valid motorcycle licence is committing two offences – driving an unregistered vehicle and driving without a licence.

Miniature motorcycles can be used on private property but there are serious concerns about the safety of many of the models being sold. Consumer Affairs Victoria banned the sale of miniature motorcycles that do not meet safety standards. For information visit the Consumer Affairs Victoria website and search for ‘Monkey Bikes’.

also..

q:I sell monkey bikes over
the Internet but I am
located outside Victoria.
Must I comply with this
ban order?
a:Yes, any supplier selling monkey
bikes into or within Victoria must
comply with the new ban order.

Q:How do I check to see if
the monkey bikes I
supply comply with the
ban order?
A:If you have no qualified
mechanic or expert on staff, you
will need to engage a competent
mechanic to check your stock
on your behalf. Supply of noncompliant
stock carries
significant penalties – fines of up
to $25,154 in the case of an
individual and $62,886 in the
case of a corporation.

Its not just a simple task of 'importing it' and being done with it when you think about things in the long run...
