I bought a new '09 model SR50 in the summer of 2009 and did lots of research before buying. It came with a chrome Leo Vince exaust which looked great. I can't compare power from stock because I never rode it stock. I had the ECU flashed and took out the restrictor plate in the intake. I normally rode this scooter at 45-50 mph., it's very fun!! It handles like a little sportbike with the upright comfortable riding position. The storage is just fine. The gas mileage was always over 100 mpg. at full throttle and that was awesome!! The fuel pump failed at 1800 miles and the dealer had it for two months because of a back order ($300 pump). I was not happy with that but it's a great and fun scooter and very economical. Show less

I've had this scoot on the road for over a year now, and have had no complaints, other than some parts being hard to source, and the fact that the highbeam will drain the battery (ok, that is a big issue, I'll admit). It performs well in the city and on country roads, and feels very planted at speed. Compared to the vespa LX150, it's definitely not as flickable, but feels much more solid, and the pick up is much faster, as is the top speed. The low seat height makes it good for shorter riders, and the styling never ceases to get comments. I have taken it on long journeys, such as Toronto to Ottawa without incident, and have ridden it in a 24 hour endurance rally with no problems. I spilled at 80kph and dammage was minimal (foutunately to myself as well as the bike), and was able to repair it myself well enough to ride in the aforementioned rally the next mroning. Overall, it has proven a very solid bike, and I am very happy with it. Show less

This is an awesome scooter. Besides driving it around town and in downtown Denver (no more parking problems), I've driven it to the Mother Cabrini Shrine and to Buffalo Bill's grave on Lookout Mountain. It had no trouble in going up the steep hills. I've also driven to Longmont and back home to Denver. Found a few nice restaurants in Golden, especially at Vincenzia's on 44th. It seems that the Italian blood in my scooter drew me to the restaurant. Show less

Purchased used as my first bike. I really like it, and especially enjoy that there is no clutch to fool with. In my first 200 miles, it has run well, and got 60MPG on my first tank. Show less

I've only had the Mojito 150 for 3 months now and it's the first scooter I've owned. It was a choice between the Vespa or the Aprilia, I initially thought I wanted the Aprilia because it meant not looking the same as every other scooter rider out there. The Aprilia looks so much meatier and distinctive than anything in the Vespa range and the ride is so much nicer. The handlebars on the Aprilia make all the difference and make for a more comfortable riding stlye. The other bonus is my legs fit nicely into the space provided on the Aprilia whereas the Vespa, when turning, felt uncomfortable. I would definitely recommend this scooter to anyone. Show less

I bought my SR50R in July of 2006...the buying experience was not a pleasant one, but it was worth it. My best friend and I bought ours together in effort to combat the high gas prices. We both live in the Suburbs of Houston and ride downtown every day. I also ride a 2006 Yamaha R6 and I can tell you that the SR 50 is every bit as fun to ride. The scooter is comfortable, and reliable and it just plain looks cool. I have wrecked mine once on a gravel road (not recommended) and the SR 50 took it like a champ. Show less

This scooter has twice the horsepower as any 50cc scooter on the market. 4.1hp vs. 2hp. The only 50cc Scooter that comes close is Italia Jet Dragster which cost more. Show less

I bought this scooter in 2005. I really enjoy riding it around town, it's a real gas saver. The SR is very comfortable to ride and quick. The fuel injection makes it easy to start everytime. I have upgraded the exhaust and clutch to get a little more top end, now it will go around 50 mph. Show less

This scooter has been a blast. It outstyles almost all other currently manufactured scooters. After 3000 miles, it has been completely reliable. I use it to commute in style. It has enough power to maneuver in town. Highway riding has the engine maxed out, but it can run at max all day if you want to. It accelerates well and quickly reaches 50 mph. On flat ground it will creep up to 60-65. Downhill it will reach 75 and remain stable. Braking is great for a scooter. Handle is surprising agile and stable. Show less
