Wonderful Motor

Best for Vespa, Gilera and Lambretta owners who want a mechanic who knows the platform inside out, and for anyone hunting a small-frame second-hand buy with proper after-sales. Big-bike riders are not the target. Get every electrical or sensor quote in writing first; parts are sourced through local agents and can run above online prices. Drop in on a weekday for the calmest bay time.

The lowdown. Scooter specialist in Kampong Ubi, tucked into the Ubi Rd 3 industrial cluster. The shop fixes, services and sells small-frame bikes, with a heavy lean toward Vespa, Gilera and Yamaha scooters. Robin runs sales and trade-ins, Xiao Wei runs the spanners. They handle everything from oil changes to engine overhauls in-house.

What riders say. Vespa work dominates. Valve clearance, belt and air filter swaps, carburetor jobs and full engine overhauls turn around faster than the bigger chains. Common bikes through here: Vespa GTS, Gilera Runner ST200, Honda Monkey, Yamaha NMAX. Electrical diagnostics are bread and butter too. Stator, rectifier and battery faults get traced with a meter rather than guesswork. Xiao Wei explains what is actually wrong before quoting parts, and will offer second-hand options where they are sound. Robin handles bike sales and trade-ins. After-sales follow-through is consistent. Pricing has crept up over the years and parts can sit above Shopee retail. Diagnostic disputes happen, particularly around electrical scope. Pin down the scope and price before paying any labour fee.
