A new Vespa somewhere like this will set you back between £2,000 and £4,000. But there's cool in London as obviously you don't pay congestion charge or parking or anything annoying like that. This place also sells a good range of clothing, coats, stuff for the pouring rain and stuff to protect you and ensure you don't leave half your face behind in the event of a nasty encounter with a bendy bus. A really good helmet is around £200. This is a nice small shop too so it's a good place to come if you're not sure whether you want a bike or not and the guys can talk you through all the license and other requirements too. Plus the sales pitch is subtle and careful - always a good thing.

The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, and were extremely helpful to a friend of mine who is just starting out in biking in providing advice on kit. Prices are more expensive than on the web, but they do have some great offers and you can of course try stuff on, which you can't on-line, ad they'll provide advice as well. They also have a crash helmet recycling service, where old helmets are sent to West Africa where they are used for passengers on motorcycle taxis, whose owners would not otherwise be able to afford any protection.

Was told they don't have any parts in stock and it'll most likely, in the best case take about a month for the required part to arrive. That means I can't make ends meet, can't pay my rent and can't eat or drink. When I asked them if they could provide me a vehicle to work with while the bike's in warranty I was just told that they don't have any. Didn't bother to help me out in any way whatsoever. They don't care about their customers, not one bit. Took away 3 and a half grand from me and told me to sort myself out. Ripped me off big time. Stay away from them and do not, under any circumstances buy ANYTHING from this company.

Yeah, a scooter shop. Being an ex-mod, I have always been into Lambretta's and Vespas. Sadly…read moreLambretta is no more but you can still get a Vespa. Not really a mod thing any more as there aren't any mod's left and secondly they have gone ultra modern with twist grip throttle's and this is frowned upon by the geriatric Ace face's. Anyway, scooters have become very popular as a means of transport and travel to work for Londoners with the advent of the congestion charge and the increases on road tax etc. These guy's are scooter world know there stuff and can offer new and used Vespa's and also the weirder Piaggo brand (three wheelers etc). They also offer all the accessories, gloves, helmets, the all important locks, jackets as well as servicing and legal information. They have good stocks in the showroom and usually some used stock if you do not want to buy brand new and can also offer finance on both new and used. When I was there they had some really old one's on show, it took me back to the eighties and Brighton beach.

They have never made short notice problems an issue and for some smaller jobs, mended on the spot with no charge even when the workshop is busy. The bill is never overpriced and they show you the parts that have been replaced and call before doing any work to check you understand the issue. I have been riding a Vespa for 30+ years and this has to be the most reliable shop I have ever used outide of Italy. If I could leave 10 Stars I would.

I often go in with a query at the end of the day (upon returning from work) and of course all the suppliers are closed for the day - fair enough. But they always promise to call me the next day but never due. Sometimes it is a few days later, most recently it was not at all. Considering that most repairs are necessary rather than precautionary, this tends to leave me without transport for a few days. Service could be markedly better.

As a self-employed courier, I'm always on the look-out for good no-nonsense service and a quick…read moreturnaround, because for me time is money. And several years ago I discovered Honda Riders of Peckham. Honda Riders are one of the few family-run year-dot shops left in the game. They've got bits for bikes that even the manufacturers have probably forgotten! It's run by Natalie and her head-honcho Paul, and between them they have amassed a detailed knowledge of most common bikes & their particular idiosyncrasies. Especially beneficial to the economy end of the market; there's no limit to the age of a bike they'll attempt to repair. And therein lies a problem, because old bikes often have seized bolts, cracked & corroded parts etc, all of which may not only raise the bill unexpectedly, but also lead to delays and a backlog in their work schedule. But new or old, they always try to please, whereas most other shops will simply turn a machine away after a certain age. They are only two, and work ebbs & flows. Sometimes the phone never stops ringing, and customers are in and out all the time. It can get very, very hectic, and then patience is needed. At other times, when it's quiet, they may look at your bike - and fix it - while you wait. It's a hands-on firm; both Natalie & Paul wield spanners and the telephone often gets lost amongst the jobs! They also stock parts and accessories, including crash-helmets & clothes and a wide range of serviceable secondhand components which they will offer to fit at a big discount to new. This can both save time if the part would otherwise need to be ordered, as well as keeping the bill to a minimum. They're also a licenced MOT station. There's only a handful of other firms like theirs in south London, and I know from experience that Honda Riders are the cheapest and most friendly. Frankly; I can't imagine dispatching life without them. I just hope I can retire before they do.

They've frequently sorted me out at very short notice, very accomodating - staying open late just so I can pick my bike up after work. They do lose a star for their cash only policy - it's 2014 guys! But overall - highly recommended, especially if you have an older bike.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS…read more This is probably the first negative review I've ever written and I cannot stress how awful my experience of Revolution Bikes has been. They didn't communicate, carried out repairs without my authorisation, fitted non-Ducati parts, used a sealant on the tank that is not rated for petrol immersion, and I think that they invented the faults in the first place. After spending hundreds of pounds and being shouted at by Tom - my bike still has the same fault. I could allow an issue with workmanship but Tom is a person to avoid at all costs - he is unstable, flies off the handle and gets abusive on the phone, refuses to cooperate and is so full of how good Revolution are that he simply refuses to listen to a customer. Based on my experience, Revolution's policy is to not communicate with customers, do whatever they want with your bike, and shout abuse at you if you then question any of this. To top it off, they refuse to reply to emails and only ever responded to a registered letter that threatens legal action. In all my years of owning and operating vehicles, I have NEVER come across such a terrible outfit. If I could, I would leave 10 more reviews to try and help people avoid this operation.

They…read moreused to be located in West Hampstead but moved to their current, larger premises in Staples Corner a few years ago. They are an MOT testing centre for motorcycles and scooters and are usually able to MOT your bike on the spot without an appointment (but booking in advance is recommended). They will even collect your bike free of charge if you want. As for repairs and servicing, they don't try to charge you for work that's not needed. They will also try to fix problems where possible rather than just replace parts. When working on my bike, they always work fast and don't mess about. They are probably one of the cheapest moped and scooter garages in London. They have a selection of genuine and aftermarket spare parts in stock for Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Piaggio, Vespa, Gilera, Aprilia plus others, but if they don't have what you need they can usually order it for next day delivery. They even have some used (second hand) parts available. They also stock a wide range of tyres and accessories such as helmets, gloves etc. Even thought they are called Dilman Scooters, they do still work on motorbikes and not just scooters and mopeds. They do a lot of work for couriers, knowledge students and fast food delivery companies (Dominos Pizza, Papa Johns etc.) all over London. If you're looking for reliable mechanics to service and maintain your scooter or motorcycle at a low price, give Dillman Scooters a try.
