Company History
Sonik appears in dealer catalogues as a house badge for EU-type-approved 50–200 cc scooters prioritized for low running costs. The formula: proven engines, CVTs, CBS/ABS where required, corrosion-aware hardware, and plastics that accept the knocks of courier duty. Importers add racks, top boxes, and lighting to suit local regulations. Reliability depends on competent pre-delivery inspection and spares stocking—areas where stronger distributors have built reputations for keeping riders earning. Historically, Sonik exemplifies the quiet logistics work that turns generic hardware into credible mobility: paperwork done right, parts on hand, and owners supported through winters of salt, rain, and potholes.
