Rider Profile

Best For	Suitable for riders with at least some scooter or automatic transmission experience, given its three-wheel tilting dynamics and substantial weight.
Purpose	Designed as a stable, all-weather urban and suburban commuter that also handles light touring duty thanks to its unique tilting three-wheel platform.
Rider Fit	At 244 kg dry weight it requires a confident, moderately strong rider to manage at low speed and when maneuvering off the stand.
Character	A quirky, reassuring machine that trades outright sportiness for the extra grip and confidence of its patented tilting front end, appealing to riders who value stability over agility.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking a lightweight, nimble machine for aggressive cornering or any form of off-road use.
