Back for 2015  One hell of a scooter. IMO closer to a cycle than a scooter.

ABS ?.....which would be a huge fail if not standard.
I do like the disc operated parking brake - no fooling with burried drum praking brake found on the Foza. Very simple solution.
Looks like everyotherorientalscooter, except a few with orig styling.

By definition its a scooter but I agree these are more motorcycle than scooter.
From the suspension to the final drive it's unlike most any other scoot.

If you ever get a chance to ride one jump at it! It's a remarkable ride.

The characteristic that defines a "scooter" is the rear mounted engine case / tire combination.
Maxi scooter by definition sounds too much like tall dwarf.
