How much roughly does it cost for a servicing of a 50cc scooter?

If you take it to a local bike garage then probably around £50, you would have to ring a few in your area and ask though.

Being a Chinese scoot may not help, it depends how much they can get the parts for.

It does depend greatly on which service it is (as in time /milage) some require a lot more to be done. It also depends if anything actually needs fixing/changing rather than just checking (apart from consumables of course).

Given average garage charges £40 a hour......

That will not be much of a service Wink

I would not expect it to be nearer £100

There's always a small place that does good work for more reasonable rates, not always easy to find but they are out there.


The garage I used to work at charged £30 per hour labour, full service on something like a focus (lights, levels, oil+ all filters, plugs, all brakes striped and inspected/handbrake adjusted PROPERLY, brake pipes wire brushed and painted with copper grease thinned down with oil, all bushes checked and service book stamped) He charged £130+vat and used genuine ford parts, no extra labour was charged for replacing discs/pads/wipers ect

Pollen filter was an option though.
