Royal Alloy Grand Prix 300SWhile we can't say this sidecar scooter rig will only cost you pocket change, it's less expensive than other new sidecar options.If you've ever spent time piloting or riding in a sidecar rig of any sort, then you already know it's a special experience. You see, sidecars really aren't like anything else, whether they're attached to a motorcycle or a scooter. They tend to attract some pretty quirky riders, as well as non-riders who normally couldn't care less about anything on two wheels, but who will absolutely go out of their way to say hi to you because a sidecar just hits different.For anyone who's been wishing for a more affordable, classically-styled scooter option in the US market, the folks at Genuine Scooters just announced that they're bringing the Royal Alloy Grand Prix 300S to our shores.While we can't say that it's cheap, exactly, it is definitely less expensive than other sidecar options you can currently buy new today. And the really nice part is, Royal Alloy designed this sidecar specifically to fit the 2027 Royal Alloy Grand Prix 300S, so there's no guesswork or additional modification necessary.Royal Alloy Grand Prix 300SRoyal Alloy Grand Prix 300SRoyal Alloy Grand Prix 300SRoyal Alloy Grand Prix 300SRoyal Alloy Grand Prix 300SThe DetailsThe Grand Prix 300S scooter from Royal Alloy is powered by a liquid-cooled, four-stroke, 278-and-change cc, fuel-injected single-cylinder engine that makes a claimed 21.5 horsepower. It's a twist-and-go style scooter with a CVT, and a claimed top speed of around 80 mph (that's just for the scooter, so it'll be less with the sidecar and a passenger).Other features on the scooter by itself include an anti-dive front suspension with ABS, LED lighting all around, 12-inch wheels shod in Pirelli tires, and a two-year unlimited mile warranty.The newly-announced sidecar for the GP 300S is made of fiberglass, has a windscreen, has a locking trunk, and features integrated brake lights on the front and in the rear, all the better to transmit your intentions to the traffic around you.That Kind Of Luxe Might Be For UsThis Is the Neo-Retro Scooter Vespa Should've Built, and It Was Built in AsiaCan Royal Alloy Rival The Likes Of Vespa And Lambretta?Pricing and AvailabilityGenuine Scooters says that this new sidecar option is only available for the 2027 Grand Prix 300S scooter, and is not available to purchase separately to fit your older GP 300S scooters. The 2027 Grand Prix 300S with sidecar is being sold as a package deal, though Genuine lists the prices for the scooter and the sidecar separately.The MSRP for the 2027 Royal Alloy Grand Prix 300S breaks down into US $6,199 for the scooter, and an additional $3,199 for the sidecar. That makes the grand total MSRP for both parts together (minus any destination or other fees and accessories you might add on) $9,398. Hey, it's under $10K, at least!If you're thinking that sounds like a bit much, it's worth noting that a new Vespa GTS 310 HPE will set you back $8K by itself, and an aftermarket sidecar will be an additional $4K, give or take (and that's without having it professionally installed).What's that, you want a little bit more power in your sidecar vehicle, and you also want to shift gears and have it actually be a motorcycle instead of a scooter? The new Ural Neo (built on a 500cc platform) starts at US $14K.So really, it's all a game of comparison, and asking what you want out of your sidecar choose-your-own-adventure. But if you're a person who's absolutely set on having yourself a brand new, stylish sidecar scooter experience, you might want to hit up your nearest authorized Genuine Scooters dealer for a look.
