Whatever happened to Scomadi you may wonder? The rise and fall of the pioneer of modern retro scooters has been well covered on SLUK over the past four years. Long protracted legal battles, long-promised models (like the 400 we had an exclusive first ride on and then Andy rode to Germany a few years ago) not materialising, public falling outs and various other issues lead to us wondering if they’d ever rise from the ashes and come good again.
New factory opening event
Next week SLUK will be at the opening of the new Scomadi factory in Thailand. We’ll be able to bring you the full story from the new factory, what’s in production, what we WILL see on our showroom floors and when we’ll see them. We’ll also be test riding the NEW models and visiting some of Thailand’s biggest Scomadi dealers. It’s a country where the once-great British brand has developed a scene all of its own and we’ll be finding out all about it.
If you’re a fan of retro scooters and are wondering whether you should wait before spending money on a new scooter make sure you tune in to ScooterLab towards the end of next week as the news and features start to roll off the production line…
SLUK make and sell screens, luggage supports, exhausts and accessories for your Scomadi
Oh you teasers! 😉
I hope Scomadi fix their supply chain woes and get focused on producing great scooters and evolve their designs that inspired so many to copy.
With the ‘other’ company likely to have problems getting their existing stuff out of China and grounding to a halt with production, here is an opportunity for Scomadi to go for it !!!
I recently told the scomadi/royal alloy story to a guy at work. his first comment was “buying a royal alloy is like buying jewellery from the guy that broke into your grans house !” I could see his point which amused me 🙂 So im hoping for good things for Scomadi.
Geared 300 / 400 .. that would be nice news to report back with boys.
