Derbi Atlantis 50 Review

Good Points
Performance is very good for a mere 50cc. I weigh in at over 230lb and the Derbi will haul me up a local steep hill at a steady 40 kph. My main ride is a Range Rover and it is a delight to buzz around town on the Atlantis with easy parking and sipping at the gas tank.

Bad Points
The indicator switch has an indefinite cancellation function and it is easy to leave the turn signal flashing after use.
The centre stand clashes with the kick start so the bike must be on its stand to kick start.

General Comments
My son Richard, late of Vespa Canada and now with Twist-n-Go, bought the bike for me and I've had great times with it since March. I have a rack to carry it on the back of the Range Rover and plan to take it along on vacation as a fun ride. The build quality seems good and the engine is very smooth and vibration free. I'm amazed at the sparkling performance from 50cc through the CVT. I would thoroughly recommend the Atlantis to anyone wanting a small machine for around town.
