This Saturday the 10th of September, HART St Ives will be showcasing scooters from all the top brand names in Australia. Honda, Yamaha, Vespa, SYM and TGB are just to name a few. Turn up, take a browse, even test ride* your favourites.

One special mention goes to the FMH (Freedom Modern Hybrid) Sayza, an Australian designed hybrid scooter currently being developed for the Malaysian market. This is a joint venture between Fusion Hybrid Engineering and Victorian based company DPM Engineering. Together they are currently devising a business model to bring two-wheeled hybrid technology to Australia.

The FMH Sayza consists of a 125 cc combustion engine with a rear-hub electric motor. Drive is through a dual action magnetic clutch and the choice of power is controlled by a 3-way selector switch. Select petrol only, electric only or let the on-board control unit decide.

The key advantages of the system include a claimed 30-40% reduction in fuel usage and a claimed 50% reduction in emissions at low speed. DPM Engineering are promising no reduction in performance to a similar capacity scooter, in fact they are claiming better performance under heavy acceleration.

Visit the Sydney Scooter Expo to see the FMH Sayza on display, look for the DPM Engineering stand. Find out more by visiting http://www.dpmeng.net.au/freedom-modern-hybrid-motorbikes.html

The Sydney Scooter Expo is a one day event being held at the St Ives Honda Rider Training Facility. Easy parking for scooters and motorcycles, a BBQ will run all day, even some music to sooth the soul. The National Scooter Rally will be present for the annual show and shine.
