How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Short-hop urban commuting and errands. Built to nip through city traffic, park easily and sip fuel, not for highways or long journeys.
- Built for
- A frugal, cheerful little two-stroke scooter. Peppy off the line for its class, nimble and utterly unintimidating, with the large-ish front wheel adding stability.
- Not ideal for
- Anyone needing highway speed, long-distance comfort, spirited cornering or off-road use. Its ~45 km/h pace and tiny engine suit town only.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
