towing a trailer for 8000 kms to central Australia. Love the folding mirrors for lane splitting. The O/D gear in manual mode enables high speed economical cruising. Comfortable for pillion. Have kept up with big motorbikes in the twisties. It is heavy to manually move around. Love to have a reverse gear! Hand brake a boon for parking. In all a very pleasurable vehicle.
Torino Famosa
Great reliable scooter – Zippy, cheap to run and reliable. I've done 70000kms and just get the regular services. Recommend for any sort of commuter. Price awesome too of course. Show details
Honda NSC110 Dio
It's very smooth and easy to drive. It handles well in traffic, accelerates nicely, and feels stable on the road. The ride is comfortable, making it… Read more
ideal for daily commuting or short trips around town. Fuel efficiency is great, and Honda’s build quality really shows.
Piaggio Zip 50 2T
Blue light, my blue light on dashboard of piaggio 50 cc zip goes on and off – My bike performance is excellent, have been riding it continuously for 3years, I have no complaints Show details
Yamaha Tricity
Perfect – The handling and cornering of this bike is better than any bike I have ever had over many years. Very predictable and smooth. I wish I could afford the 300 for highway riding with pillion The 155 is perfect for commute and town and local roads Show details
Kymco Like 125
Fresh 2020 – Fresh 2020 model just purchased, I was using Suzuki Address in another country but this comes out pretty good. Since riding it, it has grown on me. I… Read more
do prefer R14 wheels, but this kymco Like125 with R12 wheels feels very smooth on city roads avoiding potholes. Off the line is fast on the like125, no lagging at the lights when it turns green. Plus Cornering on a good smooth surface is so fun, feels like a Cruiser
Piaggio Medley 150
Avoid any Piaggio vehicle in Australia – Avoid any Piaggio products in Australia. My scooter has been 3 months in the workshops following a road accident and all I'm getting are lies! They… Read more
don't tell you the truth because they are liars but I found out that the spare parts are NOT available even so the scooter is made in Vietnam. There must be a problem with both the Australian distributor and the unprofessional dealer, they are both in the same business and they won't tell you what is happening. Don't get caught in the same Piaggio Australia trap because you'll have to pay a lawyer in order to get your scooter back plus you wait many months!
Yamaha TMAX 530
Excellent after some tuning – I pulled the lucky card and got the IronMax model, the one that’s way better and aggressive styling than the new techy stuff. Advantages of the… Read more
limited edition included Akrapovitch exhaust which was super low-sounding. I had to sell Akra as if was not to my taste. Got sc-project instead which sound right as i like it. It also improved roll-on, surprisingly after Akra... Other upgardes included full-metal footplates, as it was a shame to see rubbers down below; only the forward plates were metal in the Ironmax. They should have come full metal off the factory for the limited edition. I love the color scheme, liquid darkness. This is the only bile I copped many compliments from passers-by in the months before lockdowns. Also had to move the mirrors onto the steering bar as i hated the ant whisker look of the stock ones. Shall also mention i did some simple upgrades in the variator and the thing flies properly now. I tried the chip tuning but it has got a proprietary connector and the local specialist could not do it. This is the last bastion that i must somehow resolve, the dyno tuning. Overall very impressed, will never sell. Highly recommended, if you can source one and not shy of some extra spend on reasonable tuning.
SYM Jolie
Good – Great little scooter. Considering it's just a 50cc, it is very light & quick with decent amount of storage space. Fuel consumption is awesome, you… Read more
would never guess how far you long you can use it with it's little 5L tank. Very light, fast, very reliable. It's still just a 50cc, so sometimes it lacks a bit more power.
Perfect daily commute – The most versatile scooter in the market for sure. Enough power to go to the M1 at 110kph and then turning off your exit for a really comfy 80kph max… Read more
ride to your work. As it is does have flat floor, you can accommodate both feet on it and your work clothes won't get dirty at all unless it is raining. Very good on fuel around 40km/l. Easy to maintain and it is still a low cost scooter to service even though it is an Aprilia. However, service costs go astronomically higher if you go for the 500cc or 750cc. Lots of extra technology there as well as lots of Tupperwares to remove to get access to the parts.
Yamaha XMAX
- Starting Price $10,049 to $10,249

$1,300+ to service the bike – I paid $9,500 for my brand new 2023 model (in 2024) and I like the bike but Yamaha City (in Lorimer St) are charging me over $1,300 for a V-belt… Read more
service which is to be done every 20,000km. That's roughly every second month for me, working as a motorcycle courier, with the interim service costing over $700. So over $1,000 a month to keep the bike running is simply not viable for me so I'll go back to using a Honda again and I'll never buy Yamaha again.
Sym Jet 4R

The Jet4r is a good scooter – The SYM Jet4r is a great scooter i purchased one last year from the Scootershop is Darwin N.T for $3300 including 6 months registration 1 year later… Read more
and 5000k's so far its been without any faults , since its a 2 stroke engine it requires hardly any maintenance , is cheap on petrol i get easliy 100km from just 5 bucks petrol , build quality is good , the scooter handles good , its only a 50cc engine so you wont be breaking any speed records , will easily go 65km/h top speed flat ground and i am big bloke .. the only thing i dislike about the.scooter is the headlight should be brighter so if your into night riding i would recommend you fitt a L.E.D headlight or a small L.e.d spotlight/flood light .
Quality Commuter – Had my 2014 SR MT 50 for most of 2015, gotta say it was flawless. I had a performance exhaust, 19mm Dell'Orto carby and heavy clutch springs fitted… Read more
by The Scooter Shop from new. Went all day every day at speeds up to 70-75khr with minimal power lag up hills and very comfortable to ride. By far the most reliable, comfortable and powerful commuter scooter in the air cooled 50cc class (though if you want performance, you want the SR50R liquid cooled or maybe a SYM Jet, if you don't mind paying the almost $1000 extra). The 14" wheels (compared to the 13" on the Typhoon) make a huge difference on rougher roads. The brakes being the same as the SR MT 125 are excellent, I had to dive on them a few times thanks to ignorant drivers, very good stopping power. Not the cheapest 50cc out there but definitely best value for the money in my opinion.
Suzuki Address 110 (2022)
- See all
Bad choice – If you are planning to buy a new one, no need to spend on address 110, if you can get better quality (KYMCO 125) cheaper than address 110. More powerful & stronger, regretting bought address 110 after sell my KYMCO 125.
Kymco Agility 50
these bikes are gutless – the performance of my kymco city 50 is terrible and do not pull out of any junction unless there is no traffic in sight its gutless
Kymco Agility 16+ 200i
Kymco Scooter Agility 16+ 200 – Just bought this scooter. Not real quick but is good around the city. Cost is good compared to other scooters on the market. Rides well. Very easily serviced. Ride is comfortable, plenty of under seat storage.
A BRILLIANT VESPA SCOOTER – I have owned this scooter for just over a year. It is a fantastic scooter. Fast, reliable and cheap to run. It has a 9 litre petrol tank. Petrol… Read more
lasts forever. I have extensive experiences with Vespas. I can honestly say, for the $6,500 I paid for this, it is well worth it. I could not however justify the extra expense to but a 250CC OR 300CC GTS Vespa. There are so many bolt on goodies out there on the world wide web for the 150 3v engine its just not worth the extra 2 - 4 grand extra you have to pay for the larger capacity scooters. I can bolt on an exhaust and a larger cylinder kit for less than a $1000 with the same/if not more performance than the 250 - 300 cc and still only pay 150cc rego costs. Its a no brainer to me. Trust me you won't be disappointed.
Fantastic travel option for those with mobility issues – I have had the Luggie Elite scooter for approx 2 years.It weighs around 27 kgs with the battery and folds up about the size of a small… Read more
suitcase.Fantastic at airports.Can ride down to gate ,remove battery(which you take on board) and great for cruises.Don’t expect to go over sand or soft surfaces but great on firm flat ground/paths.Will go up 6degree slope.Has enabled me to go out and enjoy the outdoors more and provides a worry free travel option for people with mobility issues.
MCI Formula 125
Great Scooter and very Chic – The MCI Formula 125cc has good torque for a 125cc GY6 motor. The power is better than some scooters in this category as it has very good handling on… Read more
the road. I have measured fuel economy and have been getting 2.8 litres to 100km. It works well on most roads and I have taken it on the motorway pushing it to a top speed of 108kph. I would not want to drive this for a long time, but it easily cruises at 80 kph. It has LED lighting and a modern digital dashboard including a trip meter. It comes with both electric and a kick start. The only thing I wish it had is a front glove box storage. It does have large storage under the seat.
Jiajue Sprint Sport 50
Perfect for your Grandma, a toddler or someone living in the salt planes – I've had many scooters in my life, but this JIAJUE SPRINT 2021 EFI, is the first brand new scooter I've had the pleasure of owning. The pros: I've… Read more
done over 1000ks on it, most of which at WOT. The scooter hasn't missed a single beat. The manufacturing, although feeling cheap and nasty, has held up to a small accident or two with only minor and superficial damage. The chassis (if you could call it that) feels fairly robust. The scooter starts everytime and putts you around town with little effort. In the Bike lane.
The Cons... As stated above, I've owned MANY 50cc scooters of all shapes and sizes. And this JiaJue "sprint" is bar far, and without a doubt, the SLOWEST scooter I've ever encountered. Even after removing the factory speed governor (for safety reasons) this scooter CRAWLS up to "60kmph" which is actually 52Kmph when checked with GPS. I've swapped that CDI for a "derestricted" one. I've swapped the variator rollers for Dr Pully sliders @5g and 4.5g. I've tried clutch springs, "performance variator kits", high flow pod filters and exhaust mods. NOTHING has bought this scooter up to par.
In conclusion: if you live in a flat suburban area, with 50k speed limits and short commutes to school, work or the shops: the JIAJUE SPRINT is a perfectly reasonable means of transport. However... if there is a hill in your town, or even a slight incline, or If there's stretch of road near buy with a speed limit exceeding 50kpm. I would HIGHLY suggest looking into an old 2stroke 50cc. The JIAJUE SPRINT just doesn't cut it...
Do not buy this scooter – I bought my scooter at the beginning of December the Sym 200i Classic. After 2 months my scooter has broken down 8 times. My scooter was once… Read more
serviced at Brookvale and 2 days later I was driving my scooter home and the engine just stopped. There is and was a clear electrical failure. I left my scooter on the side of the road and took the train home. I called the dealership in Stanmore to notify them of my problem. I was told I had to pay for the towing of the scooter that I did, ($90). I had the scooter towed to Stanmore. After being serviced for longer than 2 weeks I picked up my bike. 1 week later I was riding my scooter and the engine just stopped while I was riding, I was given 3 fuses from the mechanic to install in case the engine stopped. During that week all 3 fuses have popped and I left the scooter at my friends home. One positive is after calling head office [name removed] in Melbourne they payed for the towing the second time.
Great big wheel scooter – I chose this scooter because it didn't have the smaller wheels and tyres like so many other scooters, it handles well, and the ease of not having to… Read more
change gears is convenient for short commutes,
I also have a luggage box I the back of my scooter which is convenient for storing my helmet when I prefer not to carry it around with me
Yamaha TMAX 560
An actual alternative to owning a car – It’s Yamaha’s top-spec commuter scooter that blurs the line between a conventional scooter and a touring motorcycle. There’s an extensive feature… Read more
list for this bike, but there’s also a higher-than-your-average scooter asking price.
At $20,649 as a ride-away price, this is one of the most expensive learner approved scooters you can buy.
You’re looking at buying this bike because you’re commuting farther than your average scooter. You want the most comfortable ride, and one of the most capable scooters when it comes to handling and power.
If those reasons don’t sound like your requirements, you’re better off checking out something like a Vespa, which is a cheaper and more simple alternative that’s ideal for shorter trips.
The warranty is 24 months, unlimited parts and labour. Servicing costs are set by the individual dealers, but service intervals are every 10,000km.
It’s a heavy bike, but thanks to an upgraded twin-disc brake up front and a sizable rear brake, you can smoothly operate the T-MAX to a stop. In addition, you get a dedicated parking brake to avoid any awkward roll-aways when stationary.
The T-MAX produces 35kW (46.94hp) at 7500 rpm and 55.7Nm at 5250 rpm. It’s a rapid scooter. There’s no doubt you’ll be able to swiftly ride up to the speed limit and have no problem overtaking at highway speeds.
You also have two ride modes: ‘Touring' and 'Sport'. Touring simply limits the amount of power delivered for a more relaxed riding experience, while Sport ups the ante to complement the mode.
Not to mention the fact you have an electronically controlled windshield which you can adjust to block wind or rain while riding, and this scooter has cruise control too.
You’re operating the T-MAX via a single-speed CVT transmission. It’s not an engaging gearbox, but it does make for a very simple and easy ride.
I rode the T-MAX immediately after returning the XSR700 I had on loan, and all I can say is that this felt like a sofa on wheels in comparison. It’s a plush ride when commuting out on the highway; you’re disconnected from the road in all the right ways.
There’s no shortage of storage on board the T-MAX. There’s a convenient box to place your phone and keys just to the right of the start button. That’s right, a start button, since this bike has keyless start/stop and lock. Underneath the seat, you’ll struggle to fit anything more if you’re carrying a spare helmet in there.
That large, soft heated seat helps you get comfortable with plenty of lower back support, too. I really appreciated the two feet position, allowing me to recline and activate cruise control for those long stretches of highway riding.
If the thought of owning a car makes you sick with disgust as you imagine having to sit in traffic and find parking spaces in overcrowded urban areas, then it might be for you.

Razor A5 DLX
These little beauties are good fun – Comparison DLX and Air And the winner by a country mile is...the hard-wheel version (DLX) because it's much faster. The speed the hard-wheel can… Read more
work up on an incline is gobsmacking which is why I purchased the air-tyre version before I killed myself (more grip/handles bumps better). In hindsight I wish I'd bought another hard-wheel version (one for home/one for the shack).
The roll on the hard-wheel, even on a flat surface, is to be experienced to be believed, and according to some YouTube video experiments the roll on the Razor A6 is even better - rolls further. Alas I found the air-tyre rather sluggish and the so-called comfort factor inconsequential. No doubt it was safer because it could ride over bumps better. If you hit a ridge in the footpath on the hard-wheel version you'll go flying so you need to be very careful where and how you ride it. And the hard-wheel version has zilch grip in the wet.
My only gripe about these scooters is there's no inbuilt ring from which to attach an anti-theft cord but all in all they are fun and good to use in crowded areas because pedestrians don't seem to hate you like they do when you're perched on a MTB 29er.
CFMOTO 150SC
I purchased a brand new CF MOTO 150SC scooter on 4 February 2026 from a dealership in Sydney, NSW Australia. Since purchasing the bike there have… Read more
been two major faults in five weeks, and neither the dealer and CF MOTO are accepting responsibility to provide a refund or replacement vehicle.
On Friday 6 February 2026, the scooter suffered a complete breakdown. This was only two days after taking ownership and having travelled only 57km since purchase. The scooter lost all acceleration while I was riding along a key arterial road, and came to a complete stop in traffic during peak hour. I was left stranded and forced to walk my scooter off the main road.
I left the scooter with the dealership on Monday 9 February. The scooter remained with the dealership until Wednesday 25 February. I was advised that the front wheel speed sensor and spark plug had to be replaced. I was assured that the vehicle was now fit for purpose, operating properly and was safe to ride.
On Friday 13 March, the scooter throttle functioning became erratic while riding along a key arterial road, causing the acceleration to become stuttered, jumpy and erratic. The vehicle became difficult to maneuver as I was unable to achieve smooth acceleration. I had to negotiate several main roads, roundabouts and turns which were very tricky given acceleration issues. I feared for my personal safety and barely made it home. At this stage the mileage on the vehicle was only 265km.
On Saturday 14 March the scooter was returned to the dealership.
The dealership has advised me to contact CF MOTO directly for assistance. I have contacted them and they have advised me they are a wholesaler only and do not provide consumer assistance, and have referred me back to the dealership.
I am writing this review to recommend consumers think twice before purchasing a CF MOTO 150SC scooter. I bought this as a learner bike, but it has proven to be unsafe and not fit for use.
I am following up with Department of Fair Trading NSW and possibly the tribunal to seek a refund for this vehicle.
