@manuelacunha9893 Жыл бұрын

i mean the seat is not very good cause its makes u slip forward, the little entrance to put ur cellphone doesnt lock, it isnt as fuel efficient as the nmax, it isnt as fast, doesnt have start and stop, has an anoying locking problem = alarm, the tires arent very good so u have to change them. plus the price here is only 300 euros less, so yeh, altough it looks amazing also lexmoto auro looks amazing, but lexmoto to find parts is not worth the trouble buying. if sym jetx was as good i would buy it in a heart beat, it just looks great same as lexmoto aura

@manuelacunha9893 Жыл бұрын

forgot to say, the sym jetx suspension is better tho, so it absorbs better the bumps, and nmax's cellphone compartmant thing also doesnt lock. the as fast thing i sayd, is more related to how fast it gets there not top speed... a big down for sym jetx is that the fuel compartmant is on the back, so the weight distribution isnt as good as nmax

Currently started saving to buy a scooter outright and looking at the Lexmoto's Aura or if I can stretch another 1k the Honda PCX. One of the downsides I have heard you can't get a top box on the Lexmoto Aura. Of course the PCX there are plenty of accessories for it. Any other similar scooters I could consider?

@Mr_Shaun_125cc Жыл бұрын

buying it new , either bike you can get top box's ask the dealership, or google it i have had both this year 2022 and i always add top boxes, also i have the honda forza 125 again with top box, you have to add an extra £200 / £300 for box, brackets and fitting. but on all three I have top box's so yes you can, I also think the lexmoto aura is not a touch on the Honda pcx, the pcx handles tighter cornering, and overall a nicer ride, the aura is not too far off though, I was happy enough with mine. but now passed it on.. and decided to stick with the two Honda bikes, although i am considering exchanging my forza for a sym cruisin as the sym range are fairly decent, they make engines for the bmw range so I understand, good luck with your new bike your saving for. all of the mentioned here by myself are reasonable to ride.. and my words are nothing more than my personal opinion :)

Considering you’ll only get about 60 miles on a charge. 3) extra battery yeah no problem….., but of the top of my head they cost about £1500! No thanks 4) just how bleddy expensive are the batteries for this going to be in say 18 months time when you need a new one?! 5) a silent vehicle is a death trap. Fact.

I believe XMAX should probably be lower on the list... it gets worse gas mileage than the honda forza 125cc (which has 15hp) and it only has 12hp ! A 3hp difference might not seem like much but when you're moving one of the heaviest scooters in the 125cc departement it does present itself as a nuisance. I gotta give Yamaha some credit, their looks are always spot on! (I dont own any of the 2 bikes mentioned previously, I'm just looking at the concrete numbers + repeating an argument that a lot of reviewers make for these scooters)
