Johnson Motors SALE

Urban Rider are offering our customers the chance to grab the last available stock in the UK of our Johnson Motors t-shirts.

As you can see from our shoots, we've had a lot of fun over the years with this brand.

However, our sources indicate that the brand has ceased production of its licensed Mcqueen branded designs and appear to be moving away from their motorcycling roots in this respect.

We have a limited supply available to purchase through our eBay store.

Be quick; once they're gone, they're gone!

(please note some designs featured in the above promo shots have previously been discountinued)

Ladies Belstaff Trialmaster jackets in stock

The ladies Belstaff Trialmaster Tourist Trophy jacket is a thing of beauty.  In our opinion it is one of the best ladies jackets money can buy.  The only problem is getting hold of one.

Due to the peculiarities of Belstaff's setup in Italy it has been a very long time since we were able to hold a full range of sizes in what is their most popular jacket.

However, as always we have been patient and are now proud to boast a full size range currently available in the black.

Tucano Urbano Tritone boots, Brown - now available

Tucano's boots have gone from strength to strength since their launch last year.  At Urban Rider, we instantly loved the products and were the first to stock them in the UK. 

With glowing reviews from the likes of MCN the boots have proven to be popular with our customers.  The latest addition to the range is a brown colour option for the Tritone, previously only available in black and yellow.

If you want decent protection for getting from A to B where a good deal of your riding is done in town then these boots, along with Tucano's other offerings; namely the Paul, Caraba and the ladies Barrage boot are perfect. 

As it says in MCN's review, these boots are perfect for urban riding and are more than comfortable and attractive enough to wear off the bike as well as on .

Scooter Leg Cover Store

The rain has started falling in London and everyone has been coming in-store for their scooter leg covers.

We decided it was time to launch a micro site for detailed information on what a leg cover is and why you might want one! scooterlegcoverstore.com

We will be updating the site with lots of great content very soon.  In the meantime you can purchase the scooter leg covers for your particular scooter on our main website.

Tucano Urbano Steve Invernale jacket

Introducing the Tucano Urbano Steve Invernale jacket.

The Tucano Urbano Winter 2010-2011 collection is undoubtedly the strongest to date, with the Steve Invernale jacket as one of our personal favourites.

The name suggests that this jacket is just the Steve jacket from their summer collection with a winter lining.  Don't be fooled; this jacket is so much more than that.

The outer shell is treated with a similar wax cotton canvas creating a vintage effect but, crucially, the jacket is fitted with a fully waterproof and breathable inner membrane lying beneath the outer layer.

As you would expect the jacket comes with removable CE approved shoulder and elbow armour.

The difference is not just in the spec though.  This jacket has to be seen to be fully appreciated (or purchased!).  It has a genuine presence and the comfort of a jacket many times more expensive than you'd expect from the £135.90 retail price.

I commute into London most days on a Ducati Monster S4RS with a 40 minute journey.  Given how keen I am to get my grubby mitts on one of these, we believe the Steve Invernale will appeal as much to motorcyclists as scooter riders.

Calling a jacket the Steve is a bold move in my books.  However, Tucano have done justice to the name by creating a stunning and highly comfortable winter jacket in the Steve Invernale.

Draggin Jeans C-Evo mens jeans now in stock

The Draggin Jeans C-Evo are the first fully CE approved motorcycle jeans in the world.

Take that in for a moment . . .

That means that these jeans have undergone the same level of safety testing as Dainese's top of the range one piece racing leathers and passed with flying colours.

You may have heard the term CE approved, and jeans before.  This however is normally in relation solely to specific areas or to CE approved inserts which can be added to jeans.

As a predominantly urban rider, I find leathers something of a hassle and tend not to bother as a result.  For those of you in a similar position these jeans are surely the answer; providing excellent comfort and protection, whilst being understated enough to wear all day.

The jeans come with Knox armour for the knees and the hips included in the price.  For more information and to purchase the Draggin Jeans C-Evo with free super fast delivery click the link below:

Motorcycle & Scooter Child Seat now in stock

Introducing the motorcycle and scooter child seat.

The Stamatakis child safety seat for scooters and motorcycles is something of a revelation.  The products are designed and manufactured in Germany in accordance with EU regulations.  Children under 7 must have a special seat and be able to reach the footrests when riding pillion on a scooter or motorcycle.

Finding somewhere that sells such a product has never been easy. 

We tracked down the manufacturer and now have stock ready and waiting. 

There are two types of seat available:  The standard size (for most scooters) and the MAXI-scooter version for larger seats (including motorcycles).

The footrests are adjustable making the seat suitable for children from aged 3-8.

Having held a small stock in our London store to test the demand, we soon realised that there are many people who would benefit from a product like this.  Our customers have been using them for the school run, saving both hassle and time, and for weekend rides.  The feedback has been excellent and we predict that the demand for these will continue increasing as more people discover the benefits of attaching this child seat to their scooter or motorcycle.

These items are available to purchase through our eBay store:
