Stranded By My Zuma 125

I'm a Zuma 125 owner and I like it. It's my first time owning a scooter. I use the Zuma 125 for travel to and from work. It has plenty of speed and performance for a scooter. However, it has stranded me twice! I live in Arizona and since it's starting to hit 100 degree tempatures this year my Z...uma's battery has died twice. It was brand new and fully charged when I left the house and 8 hours later it was dead. I should not have to take my battery out and charge it every time ride it in the summer...or should I? Is anyone else having battery problems? Read Full Review

Good for normal people.

I'm a NORMAL size at 5'9" and 168 lbs and the Zuma flies down the road. If you live anywhere where you can get to work without taking the highway this is a must get! Small storage...
I am actually a Vino125 owner but would switch if $$$ didn't matter. Read Full Review

Scootin around town

I just got my 2009 Zuma 125 two weeks ago, and i love it. I live in manhattan and it gets me around fast!!! westside high-way, brooklyn bridge, all thwe way up to 125th st. I filled up my tank with less than 4 dollars. The Zuma is great for zooming around town! Read Full Review

Zuma Zoom

Love my '09 Zuma. Averages 53mph on flat roads which is all we have in NW OH. I got 78 mpg on the second tank. Great investment for my first motor scooter. Read Full Review

Going Green

This is my first scooter and although I have nothing to compare it to, I love it.

I'm not a very brave person; you can't even get me on a roller coaster and I bought this scooter with zero experience. It took MONTHS for my boyfriend to even talk me into riding it. Once I started moving I was ho...oked. He drove it out to my mom's in the country while I got my temps and started practicing where there was little traffic. I am so excited to get this out more next summer!
I love that it has a trunk so I can store my helmet in there, or, when I am driving with the helmet on, I can have my purse in there...no need for a backpack. The only negative thing is the height of the seat. It took lots of practice to balance on one foot once stopped and the long stoplights are a killer. I'm only 5'4" and cannot touch the gound. The fact that it's "heavy" is nothing compared to a motorcycle and I have gotten used to the weight. The weight helps it handle better in the wind anyway.
The color I selected was all black. There was a yellow and black one at the dealership too but the black one was easy access to sit on. I wanted the one I was sitting on! Wish I would have had the dealers move all those scooters out of the way so I could have sat on the yellow one because I wish that was the one I picked (to match my car, lol).
I only put about 100 miles on it this year and plan on riding it much, much more next summer! Read Full Review
