Proberly more than the cost of the scooter and £500 will not get you a lot a the kids thrash the grannie out of them ,wheelies ,stoppies and stuff like that ,sorry to say .My brother works in a bike shop and when a 16 year old brings one in for p/x they tell them we dont take p/x on scooters ,because in the end it costs more than there worth

Just need to put my thinking cap on, went through all this last summer be a bloomin car this year though.

If I remember correctly the insurance, fully comp, was around £450, some quotes were a lot more. A company gave me a quote, great, went through the motions and when they clarify what you have bought they mentioned TPF&T insurance, I challenged them on this because no way had I asked for this. Think this was a bit of a con, cos he said why bother with fully comp. Brand new scooter says I, albeit an import, been excellent value for money

Laddo already had a helmet / Gloves as he had a Pit Bike, would have cost about £150. At a guess.

He does not have a leather jacket, tends to wear these big coats that the youngsters are into.

Hope this helps. In my case he is my step son and I was under threat of death from swmbo if anything happened.

Try the confused.com.  Go Compare.com etc sites.
I would suggest your son having his own insurance so he gets some no claims next year

The one with the little wheel? Tis an electric bike, used to use in at the caravan site to search for my daughter when she was younger, can't do the walking that I once could.

Sold it on ebay last year and got only £10.00 less thaat I paid for it 3 years earlier.  

And despite being insured for it it, I have never been on the scooter, was just saying that to swmbo at the weekend, will wait for the warm weather now though

also be carefull of buying a cheap import scooter with a name that you dont no as quality and spares are a issue.the local ad mag is a good place to look
