So just wondering how people are finding getting parts from the usual shops?
Got a few bits to get soon and interested to know how they are all coping and what delivery from UK, Germany and Italy is like....?

I have used a few services in lockdown, SIP are still shipping out within 24hrs, the delivery time is a few days extra with DPD so not the dealer, Scooter center have been a little slower with my parcel taking a week. A couple of the UK dealers still working, ordered parts from Cardiff scooter style as they stock a lot of SCK items, have taken around 10 days to arrive.

sips same ,some italians actually faster ,no traffic slowing them up . in uk david paynes at on small wheels is still going , as are buzzsolomoto an allstyles .ve uk is sort of ok , with robert kerr recovering from virus norrie an simon are going in twice a week to try n keep up with orders ,an mostly managing it . i wouldnt personally use cardiff scooter style myself , they dont often hold stock , they drop ship . you pay them , they pay ve/sck/sip an get it posted to you .

Cheers H Gonna have one last crack at running issue. Gotta cheap Petrol tap , not over confident in the OMG fast flow. Petrol flow intermittent , doesn’t flow well on reserve but seems OK on normal but not sure when under higher revs. Got the filter on a whim 😀

Seriously people, stay clear of Beedspeed, just do a bit of research on them and the current owner. They messed me around 18 months ago, sending wrong parts and doing everything they could to avoid giving a refund just before they went into liquidation. I had to put in a chargeback on my credit card to get my money back. They obviously changed the registered business name or changed Directors and continued trading and from what I hear are up to their old tricks, not sending parts and not refunding.

It’s a shame , they used to be a good company. I suppose they are only Beedspeed in name now as most original people gone ?

I placed an order at SIP last Saturday, not even been picked, tempted to cancel and reorder at SCK, no answer to emails, strange for them

After over a week with no response from VE I cancelled order and reordered with SIP. That was Sunday and still not picked. VE refunded quickly but no reason etc given

I just received a reply from SIP, that are swamped with orders (due to everyone at home building old scoots), they said mine should be picked Saturday and sent Monday so a week behind
