About the Item

The Mobo Scootabike (also called a Scoot-a-Bike) was first introduced in 1959. For those of a certain generation, a Mobo scooter would have been their first ride as a child. Chain drive, rubber-wheeled outriders, elegantly contoured streamline pressed steel body and leg shields, the scooter has stabilisers and the seat can be raised and lowered by means of a screw and nut. This wonderful scooter has been fully and professionally restored to a finest standard and has retained all its original parts. Originates from England. Ideal gift for that special someone. Bio: The Mobo Scootabike (also called a Scoot-a-Bike) was introduced in 1959, although it had been shown in the 1958 New Products catalogue. The catalogue description says: ‘A realistic copy of a motor scooter which is going to prove a sure sales winner. Chain drive, rubber-wheeled outriders, elegantly contoured pressed steel body and leg shields. Heavy moulded white rubber tyres and handle grips.’ It was designed by the in-house designer, Ron Gray, whose brief, as with all new products, was to use as much that was already made by the factory to save on costs. Hence the Scooter under the casing and a bicycle seat. It first came out in red and white, other colors are all red, and blue with yellow wheels. It was sold in February 1959 for a trade price of £2 14s 5d + 15s 11d Purchase tax. The retail price inc P.T. was £4 17s 6d. By 1965, it was £5 5s 9d retail. It does not appear in the 1966 catalogue, so presumably production ended in 1965.”
