Scooter reviews

I bought a 2022 vitacci challenger burgundy color scooter for 1550.00$ pre-assembled and ready togo with just 20miles on the Odometer. I purchased it on facebook marketplace, i did do plenty of research and knew what to expect with these chinese cheap scooters, i have owned hondas and yamahas and other gy6 mopeds and dont have high expectations for the chinese mopeds... for the first 300miles everything worked great! I changed the oil and followed my manuel to the 'T'. The first problem was the lock mechanism that keeps the seat locked came out of place when i took the key out... after about 1000 miles the muffler nuts came off and almost the muffler!i fixed this with locktite. , The battery died after a couple months! The speedometer is super inaccurate when the speed gauge says 50mph your going 42MPH! The gas tank is way smaller than a gallon! And the mpg is NO where close to 100mpg...1400miles my tyre is losing air for no reason... i will continue to update as i go. Show less

I went back and forth for two weeks trying to decide between Buddy 50 and 125. Finally bought a new 2022 Buddy 50 and literally, I could NOT be happier! She is super quick and easily hits 40 mph on a flat (without riding wide open throttle either). Not too heavy or tall for a small fry like me (5’3” and 115). I feel 100% comfortable and use her to commute to and from work daily, roughly 8.5 miles each way. She keeps up with traffic no problem. (Streets I ride all have posted speed limits of 25, 20, or 35). I am so glad I went with the Buddy 50 and cannot see me growing tired of her!!! Show less

Honestly, nothing wrong with Vespa! But for me personally, I hated the LX150 snd wish I had known ahead of time what I am about to share. First, bike is expensive. Second, being metal, it is much heavier than other scooters. Third, seat height is taller than most other scooters. At 5’4” and 115 lbs, I did not feel secure riding mine. I could not put my feet down at a stop (had to hop forward off the seat every time) and bike felt heavy and hard to maneuver. I sold mind after like two months and bought a Vino 125 instead and was relieved. Just know this going in. If you dont mind the cost, heavy bike, and tall seat height, it is a great ride for sure.

I have 60 years of riding experience, beginning with my first scooter at 15. Now all these years later and over a dozen motorcycles along the way, I've come full circle, I purchased a new Vespa. I visited a local Vespa dealer and was won over by a stylish and sturdy scooter that lives up to the reputation it has earned. From the moment I drove away from the dealership on my new GTS I was impressed with its features and performance. Now two years later, it has proven to be a very reliable scooter and fun to ride. The workmanship is obvious from every angle in its fit and finish, but the most surprising feature to me was the performance-you roll on the throttle and it has an immediate response from the high performance engine(HPE) and a robust automatic transmission, sending you on your way!

I had never owned a scooter or rode one in my life, only muscle bikes and crotch rockets. The Reflex has turned out to be one of the best bikes I have ever owned. Bought the bike with 14000 miles on the clock and it had been poorly maintenanced, I remedied that with all the tender love and care that it needed! I now have over 37000 miles on the clock and this thing is still running flawless. I have done some minor modifications to it to help increase durability and smoothness such as a Malosi racing clutch and bell set up for street use, the side "B" variator from the 2005-6 Big Ruckus with 24 gr sliders (get rid of the rollers as soon as you can), the much stronger yellow contra spring which gets rid of the belt vibration at highway speeds. If your Reflex has the rough idle and hard starting when cold like mine did when I first got it, it probly has the carburetor air fuel mixture screw set to run at high altitude. I fixed that, now idles smooth and no hard cold starts. I took it on a over 200 mile trip 2 days ago and got 76 mpg with absolutely no oil consumption and there were a couple of times on the highway I was running 80 mph keeping right up with all the traffic. Dump the factory windscreen, you will never be sorry, get the Givi windscreen made for the Reflex. Storage is awsome on this bike but I also added a back box just to have more. If your bank account is skinny and you need depedable transportation then the Honda NSS250 Reflex 2001-7 will definately do the job! Show less

Let me start by saying the bike is the quietest thing I have ever rode. It also rides very smooth, and it looks really nice. The factory windshield us a joke. Wind buffeting at highway speed is almost unbearable. My huge disappointment us the power, or should I say the lack of power. I haved owned a Kymco Downtown 300i and I just found it to be a much more powerful enjoyable bike to ride. I would trade my Forza for another Downtown 300i in a heartbeat. My Forza to seems only a little bit stronger than the 2007 Reflex that I had. Overall after all the Honda Hype, I am disappointed. Show less

This is a very good scooter it's very sturdy reliable and well worth the money. I just upgraded mines to a 80cc and I couldn't ask for a better scooter. It's a lot of negativity about these but it's all bs Show less

The Challenger product line is extremely cheaply built with corners cut everywhere. Firstly, it is a very, very heavy bike for it's low quality build. It is a recipe for falling apart. A 150cc Scooter should also never have a carburetor, the Challenger 150 does. It is just made with shameful workmanship. The only upside is, while it lasts, it goes fast, I reached 75 mph on it. Don't bank on quality, don't bank on longevity either. Bank on only rust and structural damage. It also makes me very fearful and disheartened to have recently found the exact same design as the Vitacci Challenger 150, on Roketa's website... A website that I search to know how horrible a design can be. I will give the Vitacci Clash 200cc EFI Scooter much better ratings (for now) But I am getting a motorcycle license on my Vitacci Clash, and getting myself a Piaggio or a Kymco when I can show a bank my license.

This baby is not only beautiful to look at but it has great performance!! Has fast pickup speed and very easy maintenance. It has a crazy amount of storage under the seat to where I can put my helmet and my armored jacket, or just put a lot of groceries under the seat. It has a lockbox on the left where I can put so much stuff and then one on the right that does not lock. I fixed mine up to where it looks like a MotoGP bike, but when I got it, it had a very bright cherry red color. I think it's a perfect combination for in City riding: it gives you the speed you need and versatility to get around anything Plus it'll take the highway easily. I once Cruised 85 miles an hour with a Honda silver Wing and two Harlyee's next to me. You get the best of both worlds: the style and impressive looks of Italian design and the dependability of having a Honda engine. With all due respect, I'm glad I didn't get that Honda Ninja 300cc bike. This bike rocks!!! Show less
