Shortcoming
1. Rear brake feedback
While front braking is strong, rear brake feedback is less pronounced and it also locks up frequently. This can affect confidence during sudden stops or aggressive riding, especially for new riders who rely on balanced braking.
2. Ride comfortably on rough roads
The suspension is tuned for sporty handling, which means it can feel a little harsh on uneven or broken surfaces. Long rides on bumpy roads can be a bit tiring, limiting its comfort compared to more comfortable commuter scooters.
3. Limited storage space
Under-seat storage capacity is enough for essentials, but not the largest. Riders who regularly carry large items may find this somewhat restrictive.
