Had one for 4 years. Great little scooter. Look after it and it will reward you with lots of smiles and admiring glances.

Bought one of these last year a lot of admiring glances and comments ....love it

Nice looking little scoot this. Back in the classic Vespa & Lambretta days, scooters were cheap as anything and were near enough disposable bits of fun - so it's interesting that the Chinese scooters aren't seen in the same light.. brilliant for towns and cities! Well in with this one, AJS.

What a neat little scooter that is! I really like it in that orange colour, proper vintage vibes! Another great review Brett, top job!

I've been waiting on this review, hopefully buying one within the next couple of months. Thank you.

This looks the business. Fantastic in-depth review, was thinking of buying an electric version of this scooter but at present the distance they can travel on a charge and accessibility for charging are putting doubts in my mind. This review has me leaning back into petrol again and this seems like a fun reliable scooter. Bring it on.

These are a nice little run about, I had X2 of these, can't knock them for the price. Went to work on it all year round, you will need to spray the air filter every now and then though as they seem to get water logged if left. For the price you can't wrong👍

As a traditional scooter rider whos owned many lambrettas and vespas i obviously dont like these plastic autos very much.not my thing, but these retro modern scooters are affordable, unlike classics, and they do get new people into the scooter scene. They have slowly been accepted in the traditional scene which cant really be a bad thing and they are what they are. As long as you are happy with it then other peoples opinion means nothing. Il stick with old italian metal myself but i can see the point in these.

Been looking for a cheap scoot to get to work n back on. Was thinking of the Suzuki Address was put off with foot room. This scoot certainly won't rust and if I need to replace a panel don't need to worry about a paint job. So gonna purchase one.

I have the 125 euro Modena with custom exhaust and vintage Vespa tail light, and the RA, GT 125 both great bikes love them no trouble after two years

[kahutamaki]

nice vintage style, might b nxt scooter appreciate the review

[colinjohnston]

Thabks to your review i have bought that exact model. Great little scooter😊

[andydove]

Is a big bore kit available for this bike ?

[ah]

I have one question: Where do you have the camera for the test-ride fitted? It keeps wobbling all over the place for the duration

[paulodwyer]

Are these available in the United States? I live in Southern Utah and would love this.

[leerobinson]

Just put a bid in on eBay for one for my Mrs...under 3 hours left, fingers crossed

[kopynd]

excellent intro spot on yer bigger engine 60 mph would of made it a best seller, with the exception of a few more changes, spot on for an old rocker oap

[rob]

Great video - thanks. Used to have a motorcycle and mid life crisis is pointing me towards this brand. I don't think you mentioned anything about braking someone said the left lever is a combined front and rear compensated system is that right?

[DrmaxPtquiropratica]

Is this equal to the Mash “Sixty” 125cc?
