Discussion Forums

If you ride a modern Vespa or similar CVT scooter, you might like to join the Modern Vespa forum. It's a worldwide discussion group and a wealth of information for all automatic and modern scooter riders including Maxis and the new Piaggio MP3.

Those with a manual transmission scooter might prefer to go to Stella Speed. Here you'll find tips and tricks on how to get your geared scooter running at its best.

One of the most welcoming scooter forums you'll find in Australia is the Sydney City Scooter Club. With a huge membership and a massive knowledge base, you're bound to find answers to your technical questions, and meet some great people while you do it.

For the riders who like a warmer climate you can check out the Brisbane Canetoads SC forum. These guys have a reputation for hardcore scootering, and it's well deserved.

We've not forgotten Melbourne, if you like pina colada and getting caught in the rain (without the pina colada) then you'll want to contact the Melbourne Scooter Connection.

Those with a taste for fine wine and a rich scootering history can go to the Adelaide Scooter Connection. Bert Sharp may be gone but the scene is still going strong.

The Thylacine may be extinct but the scootering life in Tasmania is alive and well. The Hobart Motor Scooter Club is the southern most club in Australia. Located on the beautiful Apple-Isle, our southern friends will be hosting the 2009 National Scooter Rally.

For a more bipartisan take on the world of riding, why not sign up to Netrider. This forum has its own scooter section, you can discuss safety gear, riding tips and pick fights with Harley-riders, sweet!


You'll find links to the state and territory website of each respective club on their forums (where available), if you have a club in WA or the NT then drop us a line and we'll gladly list your details and any events you have coming up.

For details of the events and runs coming up around Australia, follow this link to the national events page.
