Customer comments on this selection.
 A nice starter book
This is a good book for those who have no mechanical knowledge and don't know anything about scooters. That said if your searching for actual repair information your best served looking elsewhere.
 Great Scootering Information
Even though this book is written for an English audience, many of the chapters give great information on subjects like: what scooter to purchase, the differences between 2 and 4 stroke engines, how to get more power and derestrict a 50cc motor, different clothing for scootering, scooter accessories, performance parts, and securing your scooter. The chapters are very organised and show many different scoots from different manufacturers.
Not for the US but Good enough for Singapore
I'm a complete newbie to scooters and my first ride after acquiring my license is a brand new Piaggio X8 200. After going through the book, I'm very satisfied with the information provided in the book, especially the areas on maintenance. It has helped me to troubleshoot some of the problems I had experienced when I got my scooter. The book is rich in colour photographs and very detailed information on how the scooter works. It has helped me understand how the scooter works and what to do when I encounter specific problems. The most important thing is that it helped me to gain enough confidence to actually attempt some of the simpler maintenance and servicing myself like oil and coolant top ups.
This book is also good for people who want to make an informed decision when selecting the best scooter for themselves, it covers a wide variety of topics ranging from the different types of scooters, accessories and clothing.
For the complete beginner rider, this book is invaluable. I highly recommend it to Singapore riders!
 Not for the US!
This guide is written for the UK market only & contains chapters on the UK M test, MOT, Road Tax and insurance, none of which have any relevance to a non-UK rider. It does not cover any scooters at the 150cc level but jumps straight from the 125s to "Super Scooters" (I think the UK has a 125cc learner limit). Most of the models and makes covered are not even available in the US. The rest of the information is very basic (how a 4-stroke works) & could be easily gleaned from some Google searches. Pretty disapointing really.
