Get On – life’s better on two wheels
So you want to get about quickly and cheaply, with less hassle and minimum impact on the environment?
Time to think about getting onto two wheels.
- Less congestion – 85% of commuting car drivers are alone in their car. If just a few of them switched to a scooter or motorbike, morning rush hour would be easier for everyone.
- Less time commuting – a recent study found motorcycles did the same journey in a third less time than a car. Over a week, that’s 1.5 hours saved on the average commute of 28 minutes each way.
- Less fuel burnt – smaller motorbikes and scooters can do well over 100 mpg – sometimes closer to 180mpg . Which means less exhaust emissions too! And with electric models coming onto the market all the time, there’s more choice than ever before.
- More flexibility – no more waiting for overcrowded buses, trains and trams. Just get on and go when you’re ready.
- More friends – there are 1.3 million motorcycles on UK roads. They’re the fastest-growing type of vehicle since 1995.
- More fun – how many commuters do you know who get off the bus, or out of the Underground, with a big smile every day?
- More money left at the end of the month – road tax starts at just £16 a year for smaller motorcycles, parking is generally free and motorbikes and scooters don’t pay the London congestion charge. Fill up with petrol, do over 400 miles on a tank and still get change from a £20 note!

The average UK commute is 8.6 miles. Cars can be great for longer journeys, and walking and cycling for shorter ones, but a motorbike or scooter is a great option for that average trip.
Great – how do I start?
