Direct Bikes, direct sales of 50cc and 125cc scooters in the UK

Direct Bikes (UK) Limited operates in the UK as a direct seller of scooters and mopeds, with a catalogue focused on 50cc and 125cc engine sizes. The company presents itself as the UK's number one scooter brand, a claim it supports with DVLA registration data from January 2023. Its business model eliminates middlemen and avoids expenses associated with traditional dealerships, printed brochures and showrooms, allowing it to offer tighter prices.

Catalogue of scooters and mopeds

The range is organised into two main engine sizes. The 50cc models are designed for urban commuting and novice riders, with a top speed of 30 mph and economical fuel consumption. The 125cc models offer more power while maintaining fuel efficiency, with a top speed of 60 mph. All models are automatic: simply start the engine and accelerate. The catalogue includes retro finishes, classic Italian lines and sporty designs, with multiple colour options per model.

Among the 50cc models are Panther, Retro, Ninja, Tommy and Viper. In 125cc, Milan, Python, Scorpion, Tommy, Cruiser, Ninja, Viper, Cheetah, Lynx, Venom and Cobra are sold. The website includes a 360-degree viewing tool and videos to inspect each model from every angle.
