quick one.

what are the main swiss classifieds for buying cars/bikes?

would it be cheaper to import a bike from uk, or is the red tape not worth the hassle/cost?

lastly, is it possible to get insurance as a non resident?

friend is moving over in the new year. they'll be wanting a bike and have said i could also keep one there if i'd like to, which i very much would!

Thanks Florian,

I parked this for a while but now need to pick it back up again but now have more queries.

My friend moved to Lausanne, is it possible for her to rent a 50cc moped or even an e-scooter using a foreign car-only license and IDL? She's pretty bummed out having to use public transport to get everywhere at present, a moped would make getting around to view apartments etc. much easier.

I plan to visit next month. I have a foreign unrestricted bike licence and IDL. Will I be able to rent something decent?

On the bike ownership front, I'm planning to build us a pair of bikes and then import to Ch. Longer term though, guess I need to read up on the regs to pass inspection.
