Twist & Go Magazine
The new look is fresher, feisty and more suited to the fast moving world of the younger – or younger at heart – rider. The TAG team won’t be losing sight of the fact that scooters remain the coolest – and most practical – form of urban transport, but they’ll be spreading their wings to sample geared mopeds, learner legal motorbikes, quads, minimotos – in fact anything that’s fun and funky on two wheels.
