  • Thinking of finding a new way to commute?
    Scooters offer the perfect blend of costs and practicality, so we took four very different models at different price points to understand what you get for your money.
    Lexmoto's Aura is a low cost competitor to the best selling Honda PCX 125 and Yamaha NMAX, while at the other end of the scale the Honda Forza 125 is the most luxurious learner legal scooter you can buy. Both can be ridden on a provisional motorcycle licence after a day's training, known as the CBT, making them hugely accessible.
    Alongside these two we've brought another CBT legal machine in the form of the iconic Vespa, as well as a wild card in the Piaggio MP3 - a three-wheeled 300cc scooter that can be ridden on a car licence.

    I think you have missed the point of the MP3. The grip. I had some ohshit moments with my scooters during early spring/late autumn where the front tyre lost the grip. If you are a hardcore comutter raind and cold weather will not stop you. But sliding will.

    I have had the Lexmoto aura for just over a year and can honestly say mine is a pile of junk, throttle cable snapped, speedo cable snapped, battery crapped out, steering lock doesn't work, start button doesn't work, had to put shimms under the seat latch so it would lock, can't fit my open face helmet under the seat and in the last 5000 miles it has had the belt replaced 7 times and the clutch and variator twice. It is now going back for a refund... remember cheap isn't always cheerful

    Out of those three 2 wheelers, I would pick the Forza.
    It's the only bike that allows you to ride comfortably between towns.
    Then again, it's the only maxi scooter in this comparison. Maxi scooters rule.

    Don't buy any Lexmoto! I owned a Titan. Monthly services: brake and electric problems, broken switches. I got as new. It was two years old and sold for 495. Wasting money. The best option on the market for 125cc is the Forza. I have it, it's premium. Good option in the big category: Forza 750, Burgman 650, C 650, C 650 GT and AK 550.

    You chose 2 scooters with tiny wheels and 1 monstrously expensive beast. A Liberty 125 would be as cheap as the Lexmoto but more stable and practical. A Medley 125 is about £1000 less than a Forza or Xmax too but beats both. Sorry I think it's a poor spectrum you chose.

      Hi, the idea of the video was to show the diverse range of scooters out there, rather than to compare the four of them directly. We've got a budget option, classic, high end 125 and three wheeler. All are great products and hopefully viewers will learn more about the strengths and weaknesses of each model to help them with their buying decisions.

    I own a 2014 Forza 300. Bottom of the barrel as scooters go. Lousy gas milage on freeways, top speed with a tailwind is 76 mph, mine a look so has the dreaded "death wobble" these folks bragging on the Forza must not have to ever ridden a Kymco Downtown 300 I or people 300 GTI. I have owned all 3 and made the mistake of believing the Honda Hype. Honda must pay people to put out positive reviews. This is the worst scooter purchase I have ever made.
