Up top, the PCH carries a small flyscreen that definitely protects the instrument cluster and probably little else. Chassis builds are remarkably similar with telescopic forks and hydraulic brakes, but Lance runs the old-fashioned rear drum brake and it falls behind in disc diameter with only mm up front against the mm Yamaha disc.
One big advantage Lance brings to the table is a much greater ground clearance. The engines are likewise similar. One-lung thumpers rule the day with fancy cylinder coatings and air cooling all around. CVT gearboxes provide the effortless riding scooter riders are accustomed to, and the only difference I see between the two lies in the 6.
Read our full review of the Lance PCH Another bloody, lower-midsize scooter that looks like a bajillion others just like it. I can see this as a much bigger seller in Asian markets, to be sure. Around campus, in the city where parking space is precious real estate, and just as an errand-go-getter, scooters are great and this cc size is, in my opinion, a better option than a 50 cc for capabilities and safety.

There was a time when Aprilia were all about the scooters. Yamaha Aerox 4. Yamaha's AeroX R was the most venerable of all sports mopeds. Peugeot Kisbee. Gilera Runner. Vespa Primavera Lexmoto Echo Piaggio Typhoon Kymco Agility If you may have to get on a highway every now and then, then a cc will fit your needs better than a 50cc scooter. It is comparatively expensive because it is a premium model. It is the Harley in scooter world.
Even the base version of Vespa is a standout in the traffic. In other terms, when you buy a Vespa , you are paying for the physical product as well as the intangible 'image' of ' Vespa ' brand.
Many Vespas have large engines and can operate and high speeds. For most people, they are easier to ride than motorcycles. The down side of Vespas and other similar type scooters is that they are very dangerous. Like motorcycles, these scooters offer no protection if the rider or a passenger gets into an accident. According to Victorian road rules, registered scooters are legally allowed on freeways , but it is not recommended that scooters ride on roads with speed limits higher than their top speed.

We won't blame you either, as it mostly goes under the radar when in the company of drool-worthy offerings like the R1 M and the three-wheeled Niken. But Yamaha has also catered to the other side of its insane spectrum and thus we have the Zuma and is the slowest Yamaha. The Zuma is powered by a 7. But for a minimal scooter that is designed in a rugged manner and weighs in at just lbs.
The minimal construction actually paid off for the Zuma as it has a top speed of 58 mph which is actually impressive for a scooter of this caliber. Yamaha also manages to make it an easy to ride proposition with the minimal layout that shaves off a few pounds.
When your scooter has single-digit performance figures, "few" pounds account for a lot. The acceleration is actually out of the question as the Zuma actually takes ages to reach the breaking point of 58 mph. Fathom in about 10 seconds or more to reach the top speed mark which frankly you won't be needing in the city runs for which this peppy little guy will mostly be used for. The Zuma might be minuscule when compared to its big brawny inline-4 laden brothers, but Yamaha has invested equally for this errand-runner as well.
It stands apart from the competition that includes the likes of Honda PCX and Piaggio Typhoon with its rugged appeal and knobby tires, which vaguely links it to some hardcore off-roading bikes. It is a surprising form factor to go off the roads, but Yamaha has actually made it sturdy enough to take a few beating here and there and also not to hesitate in getting its shoes dirty. It also gets its fair share of accessories to pave for a more comfortable commuting experience.
