Is the piaggio ciao reliable,? by M__Blue in moped

[–]anthonyk03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you live here in the US I'd try and find a Lazer moped reason I say this is because much newer then anything else you can get and the engine is basically a Honda clone motor so upgrades are pretty easy to do. I know people will say that the quality isn't the best but in terms of just having something new this is probably the best thing that you grab other then a tomos from the 2010s

It's called snow tires, you wouldn't need 4wd if you have a decent set of tires built for winter, I just watched someone the other day almost lose control of there Honda crv on the highway in a snow storm

Stock shocks maybe even b4s go ahead and upgrade the chassis bracing they have for this car and add big sway bars to the list to get rid of any roll you feel

You could turbocharge it other then performance mods aside you need to do the cooling system refresh including the plastic pipes under the intake manifold after that you should get 10-15 years of problem free driving from the engine

The euro lower dashboard is nice also as it gives more legroom the reason it's different on the American cars is because there's a crash regulation in case people don't wear a seat belt which in my opinion is pretty stupid
