Sachs of Germany has introduced a 50cc version of their retro-styled Bee scooter that may be ridden on a moped licence by anyone aged 16 or over. With the cost of fuel exceeding £5 per gallon in many areas and car tax rising to nearly £1,000 on some models, more and more people are considering scooters as an alternative to the car and when they are as attractive as the curvaceous Bee it can be hard to resist such a practical proposition.
Financial costs are not the only consideration for those thinking of switching to a scooter for daily transport, because these vehicles can also free up valuable time. Time lost in traffic jams, searching for parking spaces and waiting for public transport affects the work/life balance and scooters offer their owners freedom from these tedious time-wasters. The Bee does this with a dash of classic European style too.
Powered by a reliable and economical 50cc automatic 4-stroke engine, the Bee is learner legal for anyone age 16 or older and may also be ridden anyone with a provisional motorcycle entitlement on their car licence. At just 87KG it is one of the lighter scooters in its class and with a modest 770mm seat height it will be easy to manoeuvre and park too.
Sachs offer the Bee 50 in a choice of Orange/White, Red/White or Black colours priced at only £1,199 (including VAT) and it will appear in dealers’ showrooms from May 2008. A 2-year factory warranty is included in the price for peace of mind.
