Maxi Scoots - The History of

Post by Gerard C »

How long have Maxi Scoots been about? What was the first Maxi? I seem to remember seeing my first on Lanzarote when the Kids were really small so it would be around 20 years ago. Or am I dreaming? I think it was a Burgman 400. The Guy I spoke to said it could be a handful on some of the unmade back roads.
So what is the history of our beloved Bikes.

My money is on Meldrew and Pikey knowing the facts.

1985 Mr Honda started with a 250, which qualifies for me as a maxiscoot - CH250

But the experts will be along shortly to burst my bubble!

Well I went to 25 th anniversary of Honda Helix treffen in Germany in 2011 and Elite was out before that so guessing it was one of those and yes are a handful on rough road more like riding a jet ski lol 400 burger was the ground breaker 98/99 the Jap thought 250 would sell more but 400 out sold 250 and was dropped

They officially started for me in November 2012 when I bought a Majesty. As a biker, now ex biker, scooters simply did not exist before this date. I hope that clears it up for you.
