Greetings from Washington state! I bought a new 2019 Buddy 170i a year ago and I love it! You made a good video with a lot of detail on the Buddy, but you didn't mention one of the best features is a flat floor which lets you carry larger items that you hold in place with your feet. These scooters are great for getting groceries, getting fast food to bring back home, or running errands around town . They make these chores fun to do. Plus you can hit the yard sales, or just take it for a buzz around town to see what everybody is up to in the neighborhood. These are great for really hot days when you can let the breeze cool you down while everybody else is overheating in the sun. Plus, you can park them next to the bike racks at a lot of stores since they are on the small side. What a great way to get around.

Great ride .6 years proud owner. Even bought mine used

[jimbobaggans]

They run better than you would think, for such a small engine. The kick starter comes in handy, especially when you are out and about. The battery can be dead and you kick them and they fire right up. I love that!

I'm torn between a Vespa and a Genuine scooter
Thank you for doing this review you made my decision even harder lol

[NoFrictionZone]

You are so detailed man! I wish I lived in San Diego just so I could bring my GTS to you guys!

He’s right about the small tires on any scooter. Extremely easy to dump because distance increases while braking

I never saw one in white before. The cast wheels are a good upgrade.
Thanks for the review.

I just purchased A "BUDDY50 " .love it❤️..
2 stroke 49cc engine gives lots of torque! .. here in Connecticut no registration insurance..👍. Just a regular driver's license needed..( I have a motorcycle license from years ago) .. I installed a primo windshield.. gained 5mph 👍.. and I remove the catalytic converter exhaust..& installed a scooterworks exhaust system no catalytic and gained another 5 mph top end.. does an honest 40 to 45 mph on level ground ( 45 to 50 mph on the scooter speedometer) it hits the bumps a little hard.. but the scooter is super fast for a 50cc!

Thank you for the video review. You do a great job and your work is appreciated.

HAve had my 125 about a week .. Performance wise, I am very very satisfied... Happily ran 55 60 MPH and, despite the 10 inch wheels, felt very stable at that speed. AS far as "pep" seh definitely, ahem, SCOOTS!

Thanks for another great review, very informative.

"No one ever plans on crashing" 🤣 Truer words were never spoken!

The buddy is absolutely underrated. PGO makes a great short case Minarelli clone. It’s so good that you can buy Zuma parts and they bolt right in.

I have a Buddy 50, with just a variator, clutch, and a slight jet and it’ll hit over 50mph without issue.

The genuine may be goofy but the bikes are right there with the best.

You just answered my question on larger tires (just asked on a different video). Good to know. I’ll probably go with the Liberty’s bigger wheel.

[markgallistel]

But, the history is where it's at!

[markmeador]

I am thinking of getting a Buddy 125. The 10 inch wheels are something you get used to. I had an old Vespa P200e with a hop-up kit and expansion chamber. It would do about 85 on a good day. Death trap, no brakes and didn’t handle. My old Kawasaki H2 was safer. I wanted the Buddy because there is a lot of parts available. I think 55 or 60 is plenty fast on 10 inch wheels.

[raycollins]

I have a 2018 I bought new has about 7k miles and I have to say the wheels are my biggest complaint my only time to go down I’m sure do to the small wheels other wise I use it everyday with no problems....I watch a lot of your videos and keep thinking I should upgrade to a vespa

GREAT video / you should do a review of the buddy 170i 🤙
