Zeno’s Scooters was born out of sheer frustration when local businessman, Zeno Oxford, needed his Lambretta repairing in early 2011. After searches on the Internet for local dealers and numerous visits to local motorcycle repair centres, where many a blank look was received, still a competent scooter mechanic could not be sourced. The search continued and local scooter clubs were bombarded with pleas for help and although many people replied with the old classic “I’ve got a mate who could have a look”, nobody could offer a guaranteed repair. Not satisfied with the outcome, Zeno decided to fill this massive gap in the market in an area where the scooter scene is very popular and growing by the day.
First step was to source a quality mechanic, step forward Sean Depoix. Sean has been riding and repairing scooters since the 80′s and alongside stints working with many of the former Southampton establishments, spent many years working with Harry Barlow in Leicester of Pro Tuning fame. The lack of a local scooter specialist had forced him in to other avenues of employment and the scooter repairs had become a hobby. Needless to say, Sean jumped at the opportunity with as much enthusiasm as Zeno and the idea started to take shape.
Premises were found and opened in August 2011, much to the delight of the county’s scooter community.
In September 2011, award winning engraver and airbrush artist Jason Lock joined the duo and another specialist service was added to Zeno’s repertoire. Jason’s work has featured in Scootering and Classic Scooterist Scene over many years and his engraving has been seen on numerous show winners up and down the country. As with Sean, Jason’s passion dates back to the 80′s and between them the offer well over 50 years experience of the scene.
The journey does not end there, plans are afoot to build a spray booth in the unit and going forward many other services are in the planning stage. Essential spares including oils, cables, bulbs, etc. are held in stock and anything else is available on an order basis. Most importantly, we can guarantee our work is carried out to the highest standard, all by genuine enthusiasts who would not expect anything else.
There really is only one place to come in Hampshire for your complete scootering fix.
