Sym scooters are designed to take more! We took a long hard look at the Orbit ll and saw potential; potential for a custom-designed delivery bike. We fitted a single seat, which gives more room for a large rear carrier frame, perfect for large delivery boxes. We’ve beefed up the rear suspension to increase the […]

Simon Morton (Online at ZA Bikers) rode 2400km in 10 days at this years #Cancervive Ride. ” I really enjoyed riding #HandSYM on the Cancervive ride. It was very comfortable, even riding long distances and I easily kept up with the convoy of Triumph bikes. The only difficulty was riding in heavy winds. What I […]
Never underestimate a SYM Scooter! Once you ride one, you will be REALLY impressed! They have a knack for surprising people (and they pretty good on the track too ???? ???? ???? )
SYM is the #1 selling scooter brand in SA but they also enjoy a healthy representation in the entry level commuter and commercial road bike market, all thanks to their very popular XS125. In a market where price does matter, consumers are faced with two scenarios. Option 1: Pay a high price and feel confident […]

Sleep Late… Arrive Early! Beat the TRAFFIC on a SYM Scooter!
I think it is fair to say that the Taiwanese manufacturer is better known for its range of quality scooters than for its motorcycles. I was therefore intrigued to see how the 250 Wolf would shape up. Whilst new to the South African market, the Wolf has been sold internationally for 4 odd years. 250cc […]

by ZA Bikers. The quad market has certainly seen some ups and downs in recent years, especially in the recreational segment where sport quad sales peaked towards the end of 2007. ATV’s were still affordable back then and quickly developed into a craze, rightly so. Quad biking is an adventurous activity and something the entire […]
by ZA Bikers. When my mate Grant Scott reviewed the mighty MAXSYM Scooter, he felt that it would make a decent tourer. Well maybe I thought, but let’s really put it’s touring credentials to the test. The shortish travel, firm suspension feels a bit choppy at lower speeds on bumpy back roads. As speeds rise, […]
by Howard Stafford aka Howie Zowie I seldom drive a car in Johannesburg. Traffic in this city is so bad that any journey has the potential to turn into a nightmare experience where people in cars suddenly find themselves trapped like rats because of some trivial incident 10km away. I hate not being in control […]
by ZA Bikers To be honest I have never considered a scooter above 125cc to have a place in the market. I am not sure if it’s a matter of pride over purpose, but let’s face it, with so many other “proper” motorcycles in a similar price range, why would a maxi-scooter have any appeal? […]
Review by ZA Bikers Scooters are not always in the spotlight and reviews on them are scarce. When we were asked by SYM South Africa to ride one of their most popular models, we jumped at the opportunity. The only question on our minds, how does one review a scooter? On face value, all scooters […]
