Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for new and experienced riders alike, as the automatic transmission and manageable weight make it approachable for everyday use.
PurposeDesigned primarily as an urban and suburban commuter scooter that also copes with occasional short highway stints.
Rider FitA seat height of 785mm and moderate 169kg dry weight make it easy to handle for riders of average height and build.
CharacterA practical, maxi-scooter with big-wheel stability and enough mid-range torque to feel relaxed rather than sporty around town.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking high-speed touring, off-road capability, or genuine sport-bike performance.
