Welcome to the site, pop over to the new members section and say hello it's something we have all done and it's considered good manners here :)

As for your question I would suggest asking Big Matt as he has a Rewaco

There is a Rewaco dealer in Essex. Just google Rewaco dealer. Theres also an owners club with a forum. I can add a link if you have no joy finding them. Where are you buying it from ?

I do all my own servicing, once out of warranty. Get a service kit from a local motor factors for a 1.6 Ford Zetec engine (give them the engine number, its in log book or on vin plate)

As to the breaks, look up utube or a decent car or bike mechanic can do this for you.

Which RF1 is it? Some like mine are very easy to get access to all the innards as its a split clam shell, others like the GT are more difficult as access is limited unless you start to strip body work.

Hi and welcome i had a hs5 bought from the trike guy in ashton give him a ring and go down, he is a mine of information and will put you on the right track. As for maintainance as said by others good to start to do your own i did as for Rewaco in Essex you should stay away unless your a millionaire most part are readaly available on the tintanet. The only problem i came accross is finding a good MOT station has to be class 3
