Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an approachable machine well suited to beginners and commuters, despite its category label of scooter it is actually a small manual-geared underbone/moped-style bike with a 6-speed gearbox.
PurposeBuilt for quick, nimble urban commuting and weaving through traffic rather than long distance travel or outright speed.
Rider FitIts very light weight and low seat height make it easy to manage for riders of almost any size or strength, including smaller or newer riders.
CharacterA peppy, high-revving small-bore engine paired with a light chassis gives it a playful, eager feel around town and on tight backroads.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for highway touring, carrying a passenger over distance, or anyone seeking strong outright performance.
