What he said. Places like Monaco and Cannes are full of Maxi-scoots.

As resident scooter boy


I think it's shite

Loses the storage of a maxi scoot

Too heavy and plasticky for off road

Scooter so shit for on road

So nope not even I want it

i thought the selling points for a scooter were.
no chain
good storage
a bit of weather protection.
this seems to have ignored all of that.
selling points for an off road style bike.
lots of suspension travel,
wheels big enough to get over small obsticals,
plenty of ground clearance.
this seems to have ignored that.
making something shit at the the two markets it aims at,
its a winner.

Problem with Maxi Scooters is they're stupidly expensive for what they are. You can get a much better motorcycle for the same money. 125 scooters make a lot of sense in the UK, Maxis don't.

I still think it's a waste of their energy.
IMO it's too big for a scooter and too crap for a bike...

It will either sell very well or quietly disappear from the market. I can see people that are not vertically gifted buying this though. Motorcycles with manual gearboxes can be intimidating for non-riders.
