UK Scooter sales surge
Sales of cheap new scooters have increased dramatically during the first two months of 2008 and look set to rise further as fuel prices and car tax escalate following the Budget.
Statistics released by the Motor Cycle Industry Association show that the budget-priced Peugeot V-Clic is the best selling 50cc scooter this year and 30% of the Top Ten motorcycles registered in 2008 are sub-£1,000 50cc scooters. Last year the figure was 20%.
With petrol currently selling at nearly £1.10 per litre and motorists facing tax increases of around five pence per litre in just six months time, a scooter like the Peugeot V-Clic that is capable of returning 80mpg makes financial sense.
