🛵 First ride with your new scooter or moped?

Pay attention to this!

Your scooter is new, but not yet fully “broken in”. With these tips, you can start safely:


🧠 Get used to the behavior and power

Every scooter rides differently. Take the time to feel how your new vehicle responds to acceleration, braking, and turns.

🛞 New tires = less grip

They have a coating and are extra slippery on wet roads and on white road markings like crosswalks. Drive extra carefully for the first 100 km.

🛠️ Let the engine break in gently

Avoid full throttle. Vary the RPM, especially during the first 500 km.

🛢️ Check oil level regularly

A new engine may consume a bit more oil. Checking it prevents problems.

🛑 Brakes also need to be broken in

Keep your distance and avoid sudden braking in the first 200 km.

👤 Ride solo for the first few weeks

Wait a bit before carrying passengers or heavy loads.

📅 First maintenance?

Schedule a check after 500 to 1000 km for a safe, long lifespan.

What does the commissioning entail?
When purchasing a new vehicle, it is possible that you will see an amount for commissioning on the invoice. For some customers, this raises questions: “Why do I pay this extra amount on top of the price of my vehicle?” This amount is not a hidden surcharge, but a transparent fee for all the necessary steps that take place between the moment of ordering from the supplier and the delivery of a perfectly roadworthy vehicle to you as a customer.
