SYM Scooters

Yes. As of 14 September 2026, every new SYM scooter in Australia carries a 6-year warranty: 4 years to any owner, then a further 2 years (years 5 and 6) exclusive to the original owner and non-transferable, covering manufacturing defects up to 40,000 km and excluding batteries and consumables. A subsequent owner’s cover reverts to 2 years from the original purchase date. It is a manufacturer warranty, claimed through authorised SYM dealers and workshops like ours. Full current terms are published on SYM Australia’s warranty page at scoota.com.au/warranty.

SYM is the brand of Sanyang Motor Co., a Taiwanese manufacturer whose predecessor started in 1954 and which was incorporated in 1961. It began by assembling Honda machines under licence, later built Hyundai cars for the Taiwanese market, and today produces scooters, mopeds and motorcycles at plants in Taiwan, China and Vietnam, selling into around 90 countries.

SYM builds to a "Quality First" production standard with decades of engineering behind it — four-valve heads, ceramic-coated and steadite-alloy cylinders, and EFI fuel injection across much of the range. In practice they are known as dependable, easy to service, and cheaper to run and insure than the European badges, which is why they are a common first scooter and a common workshop favourite.

Some of them. A SYM moped that is 50cc and designed not to exceed 50 km/h can be ridden on a full WA car licence. Anything larger needs a motorcycle licence. See our WA scooter and motorcycle licence guide for the full breakdown.

Here. We are a SYM dealership in Dianella selling new and used SYM scooters, with a workshop that handles SYM servicing, warranty work, tyres and repairs whether or not you bought the bike from us.
