Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an entry-level moped suited to absolute beginners or young riders taking their first steps on two wheels.
PurposeDesigned purely for short, low-speed hops around town rather than any kind of performance or adventure riding.
Rider FitIts tiny 70 kg dry weight and low seat height make it easy to handle for riders of almost any size or strength.
CharacterA light, buzzy little two-stroke with a playful, simple charm typical of classic 1980s European mopeds.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for anyone wanting highway speeds, long-distance touring, passenger carrying, or off-road capability.
