Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders with at least some experience on big-wheel maxi-scooters, since the weight and power are more than a beginner commuter scooter but the automatic transmission keeps it approachable.
PurposeBuilt for stylish, sporty urban and suburban riding where automatic convenience is combined with genuine performance and premium styling from the Roland Sands special edition.
Rider FitA substantial machine at over 220kg, it demands reasonable rider strength and confidence at low speed and when maneuvering it off the stand, though the low seat height helps offset this.
CharacterA bold, custom-styled maxi-scooter that blends grand-touring comfort with a punchy parallel-twin engine and sharp handling for its class.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to off-road use, dirt tracks, or riders seeking a lightweight, minimalist commuter scooter.
