Four motorcycle-related businesses have closed down in the past few weeks.
The companies comprised two dealers, a training school, and a clothing and accessories retailer.
Jacksons Motorcycles of Kendal, a Lexmoto dealer, closed after losing its licence to carry out MOTs.
The company had received a Notice of Cessation from the DVSA for “administrative shortcomings”. The notice was issued in November last year and came into effect on 5 January.
Freedom Motorcycles, a dealership in Blackpool which sold Sinnis and Lexmoto, left a message on its mobile number announcing its closure and thanking customers.
Also closed are Ridesafe Motorcycles (Southwest), based in Weston-super-Mare and founded in October 2015, which had been providing training and selling clothing and accessories; and MotoRider of Cheltenham, a clothing and accessories outlet which also did mail order.
BDN was unable to contact any of the owners.
