Ho everyone.


In all of my time in Turkey (30 visits and around 12 months), I have never seen any of the above... do they exist?


Any experience on any the above...links and prices would be appreciated?

PS: The property I may be buying is 2km away from amenities, hence the questions.

@marktmorgan they exist and are very common to see l Live in Istanbul and see them all the time.

I havr only visited Istanbul twice and those were over 10yrs ago.


Any Idea what they cost in TRL?

No concerns on finances and Amzon TR for vacuums or TV are very fine. Having said that TV and furniture we have bought locally in shops.

Brilliant thanks CDW 😊👍

These might offer a solution to your query:

There are probably more options; I'll see if I can uncover more.

I live in the USA with the intention of moving to Turkey in the near future hence I had bookmarked retail sites for reference for when I will be procuring items of need upon my arrival. I have zilch to gain by posting these links.


Mark - here is one more link that got deleted maybe inadvertently:


https://www.mediamarkt.com.tr/tr/search … 20Bisiklet

On top of these links I find my specialist bike shops where you can go and look at various mkdels and deal with the retailer directly.

These are especially useful as you can always pop.in for maintenance and repairs in the future and the labour is cheap.


It might be.more common in Istanbul but I'm sure they will exist everywhere else.


Might be a google.maps search away from finding your nearst bike/scooter store.


PS MediaMarkt and Vatan Bilgisayar which have been mentioned on this thread have physical and online stores. You can pay them a visit if you wanted to look at some models but they wouldn't have everything available in store.

@Muji86


I agree with your advisement particularly since one can establish a more personal relationship with a specialty shop. I also find it refreshing that there are people that add to the forum their experiences and knowledge to these topics which enhances the MB and helps everyone.  So Thanks Muji86.  To provide perspective, I had these links bookmarked for cost reference and budgeting for when I eventually move to Turkey.

Best regards to everyone in their pursuits in living in Turkey.
