So here we are, just over two weeks into the birth of our new project. Like any birth it started as a sexy proposition, developed into eye-opening realisation of the work involved, and finally emerged as something that everyone seems to love.
ScooterLab.UK, or SLUK for short is a new on-line webzine about scooters bought to you primarily by myself and Ian ‘Iggy’ Grainger, but with the support of many other scooterists. The website is completely free to view and supported by relevant adverts.
In its short existence SLUK has already produced the world’s first ever road test review of the forthcoming Scomadi TL 200. This review is a fantastic example of the new multi-media journalism that we feel is the future. It’s not two-dimensional on dead trees. It is bright, visual and includes video content to really tell the story in as many ways as possible. In the two-wheeled world, this type of article presentation is really breaking new ground.

We see user-generated content, interaction and particularly video as setting us apart from old-school print publishers. Our friends at Sena have been particularly supportive in this idea and have sponsored our monthly video competition with ten Sena Prism Bluetooth connectable helmet cameras to give-away. All viewers have to do is make a 90-second video with the intro card from our competition page, upload it to YouTube and send us the link.
Of course we are also making our own videos and some of those we’ve yet to release show that we aren’t taking this job 100% seriously. There’s still a strong vein of humour running through our work. After all, it’s what we do and who we are…
We think www.scooterlab.uk is the future of scooter journalism. Please visit, sign-up and give us your feedback. SLUK is only a baby at the moment but it’s growing really fast…
