GENUINE BUDDY 150 SCOOTER REVIEW The roll-on and midrange punch of the buddy 150 is considerable. With both scooters cruising at about 40 MPH, the Buddy 150 surges ahead, though the 125 catches up quickly. As mentioned earlier, we got 82 MPG during the test on the Buddy 150. During mostly the same riding, the Buddy 125 returned 90 MPG.VESPA ET SERIES
The ET series of Vespa scooters was launched in Europe in 1996, 50 years after the first Vespas were sold. The ET series of Vespa scooters was significant, as it was Vespa’s long awaited attempt to move beyond 2-stroke engines. The ET chassis was Vespa’s first to be capable of accommodating both 2-stroke (ET2) and 4-stroke (modelsnamed ET4
GENUINE BUDDY
The Buddy uses a 29.7” high seat that is about 2” lower than Genuine’s other 50cc scooters. This also lowers the riders body weight to create a handling advantage for any scooter rider. The cockpit of the Buddy isn’t huge however, so lanky riders may want to look for a physically larger ride.YAMAHA MAJESTY
YAMAHA MAJESTY (YP400) Yamaha’s Majesty was a good performing midsized maxiscoot with a highway capable top speed. First introduced in mid 2004 as a 2005 model, the Majesty was sold in the USA through 2014 except for a one year hiatus in 2011. In Canada it lasted a bit longer with a continuous 2004-2015 run before being dropped from thelineup.
GENUINE STELLA
From 2003 through 2009, all Stella’s were powered by the PX’s traditional motor – a 150cc 2-stroke. Unlike the batch of PX scooters Vespa brought to North America in 2005, only the Stella used the newer reed cage instead of the older rotary design. The motor offered reasonable fuel economy for a large 2-stroke and a top speedof 55mph.
PIAGGIO LIBERTY 150 SCOOTER REVIEW REVIEW OF THE SYM FIDDLE III SCOOTER August 2017 Way back in 2008 I reviewed the SYM Fiddle (version 2) scooter and, other than a wildly apocryphal speedometer, I liked it. This time around I’m looking at the SYM Fiddle (version 3) 200i with a 169cc fuel-injected powerplant. Marty at GoMoto (our local SYM dealer) has been finding it a challenge to keep the Fiddle III in stock, so it took a while for me to get my mitts on one APRILIA SCARABEO 50 / 100 / 150 / 200 & 500 2007 saw Aprilia simplify things, as they replaced the Scarabeo 50 and 150 with the new generation of Scarabeo 100 (left) which was designed to be as compact as the 50cc while nearly as powerful as the 150. The 250cc was dropped for 2007, but Aprilia added their new Scarabeo 200 for 2008, bringing their lineup to the 100, 200 and 500 models.HONDA ELITE 110
Motor. Like the Elite 80 (and the Aero 80), this scooter offered small wheels and great power for running around town. At 108cc’s and a corresponding 8.9hp, the Elite 110 is a nice performer without creating any illusions of highway capability. With nearly 9hp and 6.9 lbs/ft of torque available, drivers have roughly double the power ofHonda

YAMAHA TMAX
At 530cc, the TMAX was the largest and fastest scooter Yamaha offered in North America over its 2009 – 2016 run. The first version of the TMAX (XP500) was offered briefly in the USA (2009 – 2011) before a three year hiatus, after which it returned to the USA for 2015 in revised from as the TMAX 530. That version was offered again in 2016GENUINE STELLA

The motor offered reasonable fuel economy for a large 2-stroke and a top speedof 55mph.
PIAGGIO X9 500
PIAGGIO X9 500. The X9 500 was Piaggio’s first ever maxi-scooter. This Italian maker had sold large scooters before, but nothing like the X9. With its 460cc motor and highway oriented design, the X9 was a full fledged maxi-scooter which competed with aHONDA SILVERWING
Motor. Unsurprisingly, the Silver Wing was Honda’s fastest scooter ever, with a 0-60 mph time of 8 seconds and a top speed of 105mph (170km/hr). To achieve this, Honda designed their impressive 582cc parallel twin cylinder ‘DACT’ engine. This compact workhorse put out 49.6 HP @ 7500 RPM and enjoyed an array of fancy technology. GENUINE BUDDY 125 SCOOTER REVIEW The Buddy 125 is clearly a well-made scooter. With the exception of the front turn signals, nothing feels cheap. The finish on the exterior panels is nothing short of wonderful. I guess one has to spend some time with a “cheap” scooter to really appreciate thedifference of
PIAGGIO LIBERTY 150 SCOOTER REVIEW Once again, Bob at Scooterville in Minneapolis made this review possible. After being warned against placing the keys in the glove box (more on that later), I gave the Liberty 150 a good going over.Bob provided me with an “S” version. It’s an extra $100 over the standard Piaggio Liberty 150 in adds some nice cosmetic features such as black wheels with machined sides.YAMAHA SMAX
Yamaha claims a huge focus on ergonomics and comfort with the SMAX design. This scooter is physically fairly large for a mid-sized machine, so Yamaha has been able to provide a bit more space in the cockpit that the average scooter. At 55.3”, the wheelbase is 4” longer than Honda’s competing PCX 150, while not quite as long asSuzuki’s
HONDA SPREE
HONDA SPREE (NQ50) The Spree (NQ50) is a remarkably small scooter produced by Honda from ’84 to ’87. It was positioned as Honda’s entry level 50cc scooter, with the larger and more fully featured Aero 50 slotted in as their premium 50cc offering.HONDA ELITE 250
HONDA ELITE 250 (CH250) The Elite 250 (CH250) was sold from 1985 – 1990 in the USA (’85 – ’88 in Canada) and is considered by many to be the grandfather of modern maxi scooters. The Elite 250 spawned the awesome Honda Helix scooter, which was a clear inspiration of future maxi-scooters like the Suzuki Burgman, Honda Silverwing andHONDA ADV150
Honda must have souped it up somehow, but the ADV150 also has greater wind resistance with its taller stance and is a slightly heavier machine (294 lbs vs 289 lbs) so we don’t expect much difference in top speed. Honda is saying 73 mph top speed for the ADV150, which is the same as the PCX. Overall, it should be a snappy scooter up toabout

STATE OF THE SCOOTER SCENE 2019 July 25, 2019 Filed under: Honda | Yamaha| Genuine
| Aprilia | Suzuki
| BMW | Kymco
| Piaggio
| Vespa
FOUR NEW MODELS, WHILE FIVE DEPART Summer is well underway and all the 2019 scooter models are now in showrooms (and even a few 2020 models) so we’ll take this opportunity to summarize the state of the North American scooter scene including the arriving and departing models. In total there are four new models hitting the market, about six updated models depending on how you count Vespa’s special editions, and a further five discontinued models.

2019 hasn’t been a great year for new scooters, with three or four new machines, two updated models plus a slew of special editions from Vespa, and three discontinued scooters (plus several discontinued editions and trims). The three machines which count as “new” for 2019 are Genuine’s Grand Tourer 150 (shown above), Honda’s third generation of the PCX 150 , and BMW has a new nameplate called the C 400 GT but only in Canada. Genuine’s Grand Tourer 150is a new but
vintage styled model which replaces the Stella in Genuine’s lineup after the manufacturer of the Stella (LML) hit business woes in 2017. The Grand Tourer is not the “living fossil” from the 70’s that the Stella was, but rather a rebranded Scomadi model from the confusing chaos surrounding the revival of the Lambretta name. Read more about the debate over the revival of the Lambretta name here.
The third generation PCX was unveiled way back in summer 2018 (and we covered the changes then).
The 2019 PCX looks similar to the prior generations but is a complete reworking of the model. Unfortunately it’s not coming to Canada, so the Ruckus is left as Honda’s only scooter there in a thin lineup reminiscent of 1998. BMW Canada further adds a new nameplate in the C 400 GT (shown at the top of the page), which is arguably a new model. It’s a new name but the scooter itself builds heavily off their C 400 X model, with the “GT” suffix indicating a touring - rather than sport - slant to the style and cockpit. We’ll count one more new model here, which is Vespa’s Elettrica. The Elettrica is technically a 2020 model but it is in stock this summer. The Elettrica is Vespa’s first electric scooter and provides 150cc like acceleration but a 50cc like top speed of 30 mph (which they need to improve). The $7500 USD MSRP isn’t frugal but charging costs for the 4 kWh battery (about 50 cents) certainly are. Range is 60 miles or 100 km. Any overseas model (“Elettrica X”) doubles that, but isn’t offered in North America._

Updated 2019 Scooters There’s a longer list of updated models, thanks mostly to Vespa. Aprilia has made some tweaks to their SR Motard , which frankly aren’t very substantial (e.g. new graphics, instruments and passenger pegs) but we’ll count it here because it’s Aprilia’s only scooter model and updates from them are scarce. You can read more detail on theupdates here
.
Also updated is Piaggio’s MP3 500 Sport, which returns sporting an updated engine and a wide range of new features (e.g. traction control) and ergonomics (e.g. new backrest and seat). It would be a quick task of running down the updated models except Vespa picked 2019 to unveil countless new variants of their scooters. Full details are on the Vespa page, but to sum it up,
Vespa took their existing “S” special editions plus devised three new editions (“Notte”, “50th Anniversary” and “Yacht Club”) and sprinkled those editions across many of their regularmodels.
The S edition was previously available only for the Sprint 150,
but for 2019 it’s an option on the Sprint 50 and Primavera 150 as well. The Notte edition (below) adds blacked out trim and is available on the Sprint 50 and 150, as well as the GTS Super 300. The Yacht Club
model features sailing inspired two tone coloring (blue and white) and is available on the Primavera 50 / 150 and GTS. Lastly, the 50th Anniversary model comes in two new colors (light blue and brown) with grey rims and an anniversary logo and tweaks the graphics and trim. Finally, a quick mention that Genuine’s Rattler 50 has returned after more than a decade away (although they’ve sold the Roughouse all along which is nearly identical).Departing Scooters
There are 3 to 7 departing models for 2019 depending on how you count it. The most notable of these is Suzuki’s Burgman 650 , which is a legendary scooter and has had its demise announced on here before - only to return in updated form. We’ll see if Suzuki has another update coming, as some rumours suggest. If not, this is goodbye to a respected legend of the scooter scene and one of the most popular scooters of the past 15 years. Also gone is the Sport version of BMWs C 650 (aka C 650 Sport ) which leaves just the C 650 GT on that platform. The third “definitely gone” model is Yamaha’s Vino 50 , which finally ends its 17 year run (2002 - 2018) dating back to the 2002 - 2005 resurgence of the small scooter market. The rest of the departing models are only certain model variants, or discontinuations in some markets. Yamaha trimmed the single headlight “FX” or “X” version of their Zuma/BWs 50 leaving just the regular bug eye model. Honda also trimmed back their Canadian lineup by not introducing the third generation of PCX there, while Vespa trimmed off older variants on the GTS platform while also adding new ones. The GTV and GTS Super Sport are discontinued, while the GTS 300, GTS Super 300 and GTV Sei Giorni live on alongside new editions described above. Overall, it’s a fairly level year for the scooter scene with similar numbers of new and departing models, although the average age of models on the market is getting up there. eBikes are continuing to threaten the small scooter market. It’s been a couple years since anyone introduced a new 50cc.1 Comment
APRILIA TWEAKS SR MOTARD FOR 2019 April 06, 2019 Filed under: Aprilia |2019 Models
NEW INSTRUMENTATION AND MORE The SR Motard is entering its 6th year on sale in North America, so Aprilia has decided that it is time for some updates. Of course it’s nothing too exciting, but at least they are paying some attention to the lone scooter offering left in their scooter lineup . From a distance, the most notable change is the revised graphics with the large “a” on both sides of the legshield. However, a closer look finds re-designed passenger pegs as well, which fold vertically instead of horizontally. More meaningful than any of that is the new instrumentation (below left) compared to the 2014-2018 models (below right). The new gauges look nicer and digitize the fuel gauge and other information. The other change noted for the 2019 SR Motard is the addition of a USB plug in the underseat area, which will be appreciated for chargingelectronics.
Pricing is up $100 in Canada to $2645 due to the low dollar there, while remaining at $2199 in the USA. Colors for the upcoming year are matte black (Canada) and white (USA). Full details on this model are available on the SR Motard page.0 Comments
HONDA SHOWS ELECTRIC BENLY AT TOKYO March 24, 2019 Filed under: Honda IS HONDA GETTING SERIOUS ABOUT ELECTRIC SCOOTERS? This week Honda showed off an electric version of their Benly scooter at the Tokyo Motorcycle Show. Hopefully this signals the start of a more serious electric effort from Honda, but I’m skeptical. Eight years ago Honda had theirEV-Neo
that was a reasonably good electric scooter for the time, but they never did anything with it and instead let e-Bikes continue to encroach on their small scooter sales, as has the rest of the scootermarket.
Last year they showed off an all electric version of their PCX,
which they said is production bound, but since then only a few have actually trickled out to customers hands. More problematically, it’s a low effort model because they are shoe-horning an electric powertrain into an existing scooter rather than starting with a fresh design where they can optimize for electric (e.g. using the batteries as a structural component). The PCX Electric doesn’t show a lot of progress given the 7 years between the EV-Neo and PCX electric. Now Honda has taken their Benly utility scooter that is normally powered by a 110cc engine and tossed in the same electric motor and removable/swappable batteries they are using for their PCX Electric. Again, it’s nice to see a bit of interest in electric from Honda, but retrofitting other models isn’t going to be compelling for customers. For one, it fills up the underseat storage area withbatteries.
I also think Honda (and others) are taking the wrong approach with swappable batteries. Improving fast charge technology has killed the rationale for battery swapping. Modern batteries and chargers can now charge at a rate of 300 miles in 20 minutes (and this is improving all the time). An electric scooter with a good range (e.g. 200 miles) and fast charging could conveniently charge at home overnight for day to day use so there would be no need to seek out swap stations, and on rare occasions when you road trip over 200 miles you can fast charge. After 200 miles you’re ready for a 20 min break anyways. Battery swapping is clumsy because you don’t own your entire machine, and you’re reliant on proprietary network that might not be around in 10 years. If a fast charge network fizzles out, at least you can still use your scooter, whereas some swapping companies like Gogoro even disallow you charging your own machine so you use their network more. Hopefully Honda has something better in the works because their strategy over the last couple years of retrofitting gas models with swappable batteries isn’t going to cut it in the future. If they want to be successful with electric scooters, they need to get serious with a dedicated platform for electric.1 Comment
