If the PS125i is your first scooter you may be surprised by the size; weight; acceleration and top speed.

Main strengths:

- Starts first time, every time;
- Can fit a full face lid under the seat (depending on the design);
- Flat floor is handy for shopping;
- Has a good road presence;
- Easy to filter through slow/stationary traffic;
- Fast away from traffic lights.

Main weaknesses:

- 800mm seat height might mean some riders can't put a foot flat on the ground.

The size can be both an advantage (good road presence) and disadvantage (high seat height). I have read reviews where 6ft riders have said it is too high. I'm 5ft 9", so can't put both feet flat on the floor when stationary but feel confident on tip-toes, or with one foot on the ground.

The PS125i has a good power to weight ratio for a 125cc scooter and easily accelerates away from traffic lights.

I've ridden mine on a 150 mile round trip which included national speed limit dual carriageways. Although it was capable, I was riding it at its limit (speed wise) and would have liked more power. On a downhill part I briefly got up to a speedo indicated 70 mph.

I recommend the PS125i (or SH125i) for journeys on roads with a speed limit of 60 mph or less.

Enjoy!
