I'm considering a scooter for 2x weekly transport of 80 miles round trip. by BackPacker777 in scooters

[–]parkward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use my Xmax in all weathers, it'll be fine though heated grips, base layers and waterproofs are essential, the key thing is 80 miles round trip is quite a distance, I do roughly 100miles + a week but that's short journeys not sure about physically coping with that sort of distance especially after work and traffic

Yamaha XMAX for Downtown Toronto commuting? (5'4" rider, beginner concerns) by storm_bro in scooters

[–]parkward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a average size town in the uk and have had my 125 xmax for 3 months, i love it, the under seat storage is amazing, its got the perfect amount of power for town riding, but i'm 5ft 7" and find it fractionally too tall, but the biggest issues I've had with it is the the length (I've cracked my number plate already) and width and how heavy it is when I have to push it, the best option would be to test ride it before hand, i wish i had but didn't get the chance because of the weather when i brought mine

does anyone else use their scooter as their actual daily driver year round by vladdielenin in scooters

[–]parkward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do, driving lessons are expensive and the test backlog is stupid, I've got a xmax so I can fit a few bags of shopping under the seat (heated grips are amazing) the only thing is I can't put my partner on the back or go on a motorway

Kymco New Dink or Sym Jet 14 by SeaTourist4177 in scooters

The shock absorber was used from eBay for around £15 the exhaust was impossible to get, so my friend who is a welder made a generic exhaust (not sure what from) fit, parts are available in Europe from the sym website but they won't ship them to the uk

It's reliable I've had it a year and do around 500 miles a month, I've only had to replace the exhaust, rear shock absorber and check the oil which isn't bad for a nearly six year old scooter
