How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a lightweight 49cc sport moped for short urban hops and cheap, nimble commuting rather than any kind of serious performance riding.
- Built for
- A fun, buzzy little two-stroke with a playful character that rewards revving it out rather than relying on outright power.
- Not ideal for
- Not suitable for highway travel, long-distance touring, carrying a passenger comfortably, or anyone seeking real speed and power.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
