Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for new and experienced riders alike, including those wanting extra stability and confidence from the tilting front two-wheel design.
PurposeBuilt primarily as an urban commuter that offers added grip and stability in varied road conditions compared to a conventional scooter.
Rider FitThe 208 kg weight and low seat height make it manageable for most riders, though its bulk at low speed requires a bit more effort in tight maneuvers than a standard 125cc scooter.
CharacterA practical, reassuring city runabout that trades outright sportiness for the confidence-inspiring stability of its three-wheel front end.
Not Ideal ForNot suited for riders seeking high speed performance, long-distance touring comfort, or any off-road capability.
