History and profile

The first issue of ''Scootering'' was published by Myatt McFarlene in May 1985 with Mike Roberts as the editor. After Mike's death in 1987 Gareth Brown became editor. In 1989 Myatt McFarelne purchased ''Scooter Scene'' magazine from Stuart Lanning and made Lanning the editor of the combined magazines. Lanning eventually bought the title from Myatt Mcfarelene and continued to publish it himself as 'Scootering Publications' until 2002. Lanning sold the title to Mortons Media Group in January 2003 and former features writer Andy Gillard became editor. In January 2016 Gillard resigned after 18 years at Scootering magazine, 13 of those years as editor – the longest serving in the magazine's history. Dan Clare, owner of Scooterotica was subsequently employed as an editor. In October 2021 Dan Clare left the magazine to join The Dalesman magazine. The current editor is ‘Stan’ Bates, an enthusiastic scooterist who had been writing for the publication as a freelancer since 2016.
