Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for beginner to intermediate riders, including those transitioning from cars thanks to its tilting three-wheel stability.
PurposeDesigned primarily as a confidence-inspiring urban commuter that also copes with light touring and wet or uneven road surfaces better than a standard scooter.
Rider FitIts low seat height and twist-and-go automatic transmission make it accessible to riders of varying size and experience, though the extra front-end width requires some getting used to.
CharacterA practical, reassuring machine that trades outright sportiness for the added grip and safety of the twin front wheels.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to riders seeking high-speed thrills, aggressive cornering, or any kind of off-road capability.
