Great scooter, yet underpowered uphills

This scooter is easy to control on corners and on uneven surfaces because of the larger wheels.



I took it in the mountains and it was a total disaster climbing hills. It barely hit 40mph uphill. My other 250 piaggio would blow this thing off the road by miles. That said, keep it in town on even ...ground and its awesome to do shopping and chores on. Or just check out the city sites.

This engine is made very well though. I put it through so much resistance climbing the mountains and it didn't stall or overheat or blow up. I thought I'd never get home. But the engine took a beating that day and still works. It's really slow by my standards especially off the line. You have to open the throttle a huge amount just to get moving forward.
The suspension is soft yet firm enough so I really like the comfort. However the leg room is too small and makes my knees ache and I'm only 5'-6" tall.
It's a beautiful looking scooter very nice lines and seat is super comfortable. Tires and mags are amazing and grip corners well.

Feels very plastic in handlebar area but so do all my other scooters as well.
Only problem with mine is the rear wheel has play side to side and back and forth, just a tiny bit but noticeably worrisome. I don't know if it's normal but going to have a shop look at it.

You can probably work on it by yourself looks fairly simple design.
No luggage to carry anything is my biggest gripe.

Lemon Warning

Pros: Big tyres, big brakes, feels light and stable



Cons: Just fits a 6 foot tall rider, Questionable reliability



I purchased this bike for a small commuter however I have had nothing but trouble from day one. I have had the bike for 2 months and have been back to the dealer 5 times for the sa...me issue. The problems include:
1. A fuel gauge that shows the tank to be completely empty at 4 litres, leaving 3.5 litres of fuel left (6 litre tank with a 1.5 litre reserve making it a 7.5 litres)
2. A major loss in power resulting in Wide Open Throttle (WOT) to achieve a maximum of 65km/h up a slight incline.
3. Once warm the bike will misfire from a standstill (so severely it will not move), on exiting corners, and under load - up a hill, WOT.
4.It stalls at sets of lights all the time. Also it has stalled when braking and in mid corner. I am just lucky no-one has been behind me when this has happened.

Overall Opinion DEATH TRAP!
