Advantages: shopping hook
Disadvantages: mainly engine & brakes.
CRAP!
If you want to be left at the lights by everything on the road, including monkey bikes and those rubbish SMART cars, then buy this scooter!
The 124cc engine on this is absolutely pathetic, I always have to give it several helping shoves off the ground with my foot before the 'power' kicks in. Meanwhile, some guy on his mountain bike out-accelerates me and the driver behind is about to run me over!
Pillion riding - forget it - there have been days when the thing actually doesn't move at all with full throttle on!
Advice - Get a bike licence and buy a 180/200 Gilera Runner..or buy a motorbike!
I'll give it one star for the hook to hang your shopping on.

londoner - 15/03/08 It really does sound this is reviewing a 50cc ET4/ET2. If you do in fact have an ET4 125cc then you need to get your scooter serviced as there is clearly something wrong. I have owned several Vespa ET4 125 scooters and have also tested some of my friends ET 4 scoots and they have all been fine, top speed around 60-65mph. Okay, they are not the fastest scooters on the road, but they are not as bas as you described. I used to own a Gilera Runner 125 SP and that was much faster but everybody wanted to steal it all the time so in the end I went for a Vespa ET4 and have never regretted it. I changed the exhaust/silencer on mine to a Sito Plus (looks like the original) and it has really improved acceleration, but even with the standard exhaust it was fine.
I would recommend the Piaggio Vespa ET4 125cc scooter, but you must maintain it, which I beleive 'Jules H' did not. |
