Good Points

Great ride (once past the break in)! Fourteen inch wheels handle bumps well. Good acceleration and handling. Stand out style--sport bike look is very unique. Fit and finish and paint are good.


Bad Points

Under-seat storage not very useful (large raised area in the middle limits the useful depth). The translation of the owner's manual is not ideal (although entertaining. The rear drum brake is OK, but a disc would certainly perform better.


General Comments

Note, this review is for the 150cc model. Top speed is somewhere around 55-57. Gas mileage is about 80 mpg (first tank was 65mpg, but it improves a lot after break in). During the break in, the ride and the seat are very stiff (uncomfortably so). Stick with it, though... the seat will soften up and the ride will settle in right where it should be... a nice sporty feel that's worthy of the look of the scooter. Overall, this is a great scoot! I would highly recommend it!
