Scooterotica

I've got a scoot with a damaged frame. If I was to replace it with another frame, is it possible to send the v5 to the dvla with the new frame number or will I have to register the scoot under the new frame number as a new scooter?

The new frame is new, Indian import with nova

How damaged is it? Have you looked at getting it repaired?

It's possible but i want to weigh it up against replacement before making a decision and having to re register is an negative that would impact that decision

you will have to register the new frame and a new reg no will be allocated to it, but sometimes they come and inspect them, and it will have to be assembled to look like a scooter, not just a bare frame, there is also a registration fee to pay as well

Thanks that's what I suspected. Can you tell me how much the fee might be now a days?

Contact the DVLA and ask. Under certain conditions it is possible to replace the frame on a damaged vehicle and keep the registration.

Thanks that might be worth trying if I go down that route.

Or you could take your damaged frame to Paul at Oiltek and get him to quote how much to put right on his jig.

Or Mike Pheonix as you're in manchester.
