🧡 Thank you for all the support! Sharing my videos, commenting and liking the videos I truly appreciate it :-)
Your Zontes Maxi Scooter looks great, have a safe ride👍
Thanks a lot 🙂
@Marc.Stones The Zontes 501G is temporary on hold. Now announced on EICMA Milan 2024, and also announced touring and sport models: 368E. and 368K and 368G adventure scooter ( already for sale in Greece and Spain, (website)
the scooter really has everything you need .he is gorgeous.
A great combination!! I have an old bike that I ride on errands etc or if I am not feeling so energetic. The other one is for pure fun and show like you said. I satisfy my EGO and my practical side by having both!! You got it right. Although I will not buy a scooter... not ever lol. Thanks for the show.
Already 2400km on mine. I have mat black version. You will be very pleased with it especially after first service and reaching around 2000km. Everything will smooth out and 2 riding modes will start working as it should with more distinguish between them. At the start be very careful with the tires. They will be good on dry but they tend to get slippery on wet (thanks god for TCS) until you get some kilometers on them. After they are quite decent.
Hi, this sounds good 👍🏻 at the moment at 1000k I do not feel that much of a difference in the riding modes. I already changed the tires for the Michelin City Grip 2 very good on wet roads. Cheers Marc
Really enjoyed both your recent videos on the scooter I think it’s a great design and excellent value for money 👍
I like the look of these Scooters, in particular this model. I have watched several reviews on the 350E and it is a very
good value for money proposition. I like your reviews on your new acquisition, you seem very pleased with it.
Unfortunately, here in Australia, Zontes have not developed a market position as Scooters here do not have the
same popularity as in Asia or Europe. So if I wanted something similar it have be a Honda Forza 350.
Enjoy your new bike Marc , and what I am seeing the glorious weather.
Hi John, the Zontes is a very comfortable scooter, very good for long distance road trips. I will give some feedback on my next tour which is starting very soon. The Honda Forza is a great scooter too, I tested it a few years ago. Have a safe ride. Cheers Marc
Same for the UK, not even on their model list yet.
Congratulations on buying the new scooter, Marc! A large displacement scooter is an excellent choice for riding anywhere! I would like to get one myself and am always looking for a used one but we here in America do not have nearly so many choices as does Europe. Not to worry as in good time, I will find what I want and need!
I recently sold my Sportster to one of my brothers and then bought a used Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic which I hope to add a sidecar to so that I can take my grandchildren with me on short rides. As I have a physical handicap a sidecar will also make it easier and safer for me to take them on those rides!
I very much enjoy your videos because they reflect the real world in which I live and ride. Thank you!

Hi, what a pity that the scooter selection in the US isn’t that big, they are so easy to use and practical. A Harley with a sidecar is a great idea, a classic harley is on the top of my wishlist, but way too expensive in Germany. Have a safe ride and enjoy the summer bike season 🤙
Congrats to your new scooter !
Thanks ✌
Bon choix Marc ,au vu de la présentation que tu a fait je sentais que le choix était fait. Bonne route à son guidon .Je roule en Royal Enfield 500 classic et petite voiture ,je regarde pour vendre la voiture et acheter un maxi scooter .À bientôt dans une nouvelle vidéo .
Merci pour votre avis. Un maxi scooter en remplacement d'une voiture est toujours une bonne décision, mais il est extrêmement pratique en ville et vous pouvez également voyager avec. Bien sûr, elle n’a pas le même style qu’une belle moto classique.
The power output's impressive - nearly 10 more than the Honda equivs (forza/adv)
There is a Zontes 501 E coming soon.
A wise choice dude every garage should have one 👍🏻
Thanks :-)
Excellent choice. That’s a terrific value and should be a great trip machine!
Thanks Timothy I will test it soon 🤙🤙
Enjoy your new scooter. A lot of bike for the money. I had a look on the Zontes website here in the UK. We only seem to be getting the 125 and the 310; there's no mention of the 350.
Thanks Paul, maybe it's coming to the UK later.
Put more zontes content, experience with it over time.
Planing to buy one as well.
Love your english channel,
GL riding
Very nice Marc. Enjoy your new scoot.
You remembered what I said about "rugged" 😀
Thanks a lot 🤣 of course I remember
@@Marc.Stones I'm just out here correcting TH-camr's pronunciation one German at a time 🤣
Super complimenti ... Mi hai fatto venire voglia di acquistare lo zontes .... Molto bello
I'm in the US and scooters are look down on. I just bought a Triumph Speed 400, but I'm keeping my Piaggio BV 400 for longer trips, between the storage, the comfort, the practicality, and gas it's an easy choice. Nice ride BTW.
The same here no one is greeting a scooter rider, I don’t know why. I absolutely agree about comfort, practicality…. it’s a swiss army knife ✌️
Thanks for this wonderful review.
Could you tell me the link to the windshield? And also, for the fuel tank stickers. You also have two sticker strips in front that area added. What are these?
Hi, I bought the stickers for the fuel tank at Alibaba. You get the Givi windscreen COD.D7603ST at Ebay.
@@Marc.Stones Thanks a lot 👍🏻
Hi Marc,can you put a link for folie that protect shiny part of the plastic.
Thanks
Hi, I got it from Aliexpress
Thank for the vidéo ! Just à question where are u but the protection "foley" ?
I found it at Alibaba
Marc: 3/5 liter burn / 16 liter total / 450 km range is what everyone wants?! Perfect size scooter, waiting for them in the US? Best, Rola (Oregon / USA)
Hi Rola, yes, this scooter has a good range, perfect for long distance rides. Cheers from Berlin
Hi, first of all,I would like to congratulate you for your new bike .I have two questions; 1) I wonder why you didn't choose Voge SR4 as a touring scooter? Both Zontes and Voge are new in Europe and their service networks are not developed, and they are also difficult to sell second-hand. 2)is there a reason not to choose Kymco VS400 as touring scooter?
I like the look of the Zontes and there is a dealer close by. 37 hp and huge storage. I dont like the look of the Kymco scooter.
Hey Marc jetzt mal auf dem englischen Kanal :-) schön das du es genau so siehst wie ich, meiner hat jetzt 450 km runter gekauft Ende Mai. Bin auch nur noch 1,88 🤣 und habe auch ein Topcase montiert. Lass uns gern mal mit den Frauen zusammen eine kleine Tour machen, wir zeigen euch ein paar interessante Spots im Süden Brandenburgs und du uns den Norden ;-). Ich war in den Roller schockverliebt und das ist bei mir seeeehr selten der Fall, aber was da Zontes auf die Räder gestellt hat, ist für die Mitbewerber ein Schlag ins Gesicht. 😉 Bis dahin immer eine Handbreit Asphalt unter dem Reifen. Gute Fahrt und Glückwunsch zum besten 350 er Roller auf dem Markt.
Hi, vielen Dank. Ich bin auch absolut begeistert und werde den Zontes jetzt mal auf der Langstrecke testen. Die Videos dazu kommen dann bald ;-) Wünsche dir auch gute Fahrt, genieß deinen 350 E 👍😎
@@Marc.Stones Hi, wo hast du den Tankaufkleber her? Finde welche bei Aliexpress die liefern den aber nicht nach Deutschland.
Die habe ich bei Alibaba gekauft.
Royal Enfield 350 classic great bike and lots of dealers here😊
Congratulations for the new scooter
Thanks :-)
Interesting. I have a Janus 450 motorcycle and a Piaggio BV400 for the same reasons.. The Piaggio for long commutes, the Motorcycle for fun.
I think this is a great combo too. Have a safe ride 🤙🏻
Moiin Marc, ich habe auch vor ein paar Tagen den 350E bestellt. Es dauert zur Zeit wohl bis zu zwei Monaten, bis er ankommt, aber Vorfreude ist ja bekanntlich die... näää, ist sie nicht 😜. Ich wollte fragen, ob die Tunnelabdeckung mit der Folie ein fertiger Satz ist, oder, ob Du den selber zurechtgeschnitten hast. Wenn gekauft, bitte einen Tipp wo. Denn ich habe auch eine Tunneltasche und bei meiner Forza gab es da auch Spuren mit de Zeit. Danke im Voraus und viel Spaß dir.
Hi Fabian, die Folie ist ein Set, gibts bei Alibaba. Die hilft auf jeden Fall den lackierten Bereich zu schützen. Hast du den matt schwarzen oder silbernen bestellt? Lg
@@Marc.Stones Huhu, ich habe ihn in schwarz, er sieht so genial aus. Sehr gut zu wissen, dann stöbere ich mal nach dem Set. Im deutschen Markt bekommst man noch fast nichts für den 350E. In Spanien sieht es schon besser aus, aber es macht wohl vorläufig Sinn, sich auf dem asiatischen Markt umzugucken. Danke, bin ich gar nicht drauf gekommen, dort zu suchen...
Bei Alibaba gibt es schon eine Menge Zubehör für den Zontes. Der schwarze sieht auch sehr cool aus, gratuliere zum neuen Roller ✌️
@@Marc.Stones Dangöö. Bin sehr gespannt darauf und kann es kaum abwarten. Deswegen freue ich mich derzeit auf jedes neue Video, und sei es auch noch so kurz.
Thank God these comments can be translated easley. I also ordered black version, arriving in two months. I can't describe how excited I am on getting first 1000km on it.
Good luck everyone and safe travels!
Es war so klar😂 bei deinem Review wusste ich es als du die handfächer vorgestellt hattest und dein ganzer Kram schon drinnen war 😅
Gut aufgepasst 😁😁
Never heard of a Zontes. What is it? Where is it built? Service? Dealers?
China
if you had to choose between this and bmw400gt but you cant sell it, what would you choose
Always the Zontes 👍🏻
hello, how do you compare the Zontes vs the BMW while driving on a highway? Aceleration, keeping up high speeds, etc.
The Zontes is a bit more powerful and weights 15 kg less.
What actually does it weigh? It's a shame we don't get this in the UK, the importer I think still has stock of the 310, it a bit ugly and hasn't sold well. Don't think we'll ever see the 350E here, great shame as I would buy one @@Marc.Stones
Hallo, can you give me de type number of windscreen you bought from GIVI please. Nice scooter by the way.
Hi, it's this one: Givi Zontes E 350 D7603St
It'll be great to do a review on this scooter with a pillion rider (your better other half) on a mini trips.
I will do it very soon.
Can you share a link 4 buy windshild PLS?
It is from GIVI you find it on Ebay
Hi Marc, maybe I want to buy a Zonts 350e in Germany, in NL it's almost not possible, What is the actual price of a Zontes 350e in Germany?
Hi, it is 5500.- Euro. Cheers Marc
OK, thanks. Were can I buy this folie that you placed on the tunnel.
Great vids also on scooteria channel.
Perfect video!!
Hello! How does it perform (acceleration, speed) compared to Vespa GTS?
Hi, I have to do a comparison, topspeed for sure much better.
What do you miss comparing it to the c400gt?
Absolutely nothing. The Zontes has everything I need and has more features than the BMW.
Congrats ✌
Ich wusste es……😂😂😂 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼Herzlichen Glückwunsch. 🎉 Viele Grüße 😊
Vielen Dank 🙏🏻 🤙
@@Marc.Stones Hallo Marc, wieviel Gewicht kann man denn zuladen? Leider war es auf der Webseite nicht ersichtlich. Schade auch, das Zontes bei dem letzten Punkt (Tempomat) dann doch inkonsequent war, das hätte dieses Gesamtpaket dann wirklich perfekt gemacht. Viele Grüße; Sven.
What about the consumption?
3.5 L per 100km
great scoot shame is not yet available in UK, maybe never will be
Does it feel heavy? It's 20 kilos more than an xmax300
No, it does not feel heavy.
Do you think this top case is too big for the bike? Maybe it could damage something over time? I have one on my GS and I want to use it on a Zontes the same as you
I am testing it at the moment, I think it will be no problem until you think of the load capacity
Zontes has become very hot (topic) in the country where I live. The lower price makes it very sexy. The users' feedback is phenomenal.
Absolutely great scooter for a good price 👍🏻
Wie oft muss man bei einer Zontes Wartung machen?
1000 - 4000 - 8000
@@Marc.Stones La manutenzione la fai da solo o lo porti in officina? Complimenti per il mezzo. Sto pensando anche io di acquistarlo, anche se ho timori per la durata del mezzo. In alternativa ci sarebbe adv 350 Honda che in Italia viene pure fornito di bauletto da 50 litri... Sono molto indeciso tra i due.... Come ti sei trovato fino ad adesso? Quanti km hai già fatto?
Herzlichen Glueckwunsch 😀
Danke dir 😎
Olá Marc!
Parabéns pelo vídeo
Sou do Brasil essa scooter estão chegando agora no meu país ,eu tenho um baú 55l de aluminio parecido com o seu,não estou encontrando o suporte do bagageiro.
Poderia mandar um link onde vc comprou.
Um forte abraço

Muchos saludos desde Berlín.
So you sold Your BMW ?
Yes
@@Marc.Stones How come?
i am struggling right now if the zontes could be enough, or i should buy sym tl508.
i am a bit afraid of the Zontes engine, what is basically the engine of the xmax, with bore and compression up. If that can remain reliable
I wasn't happy with the service of BMW.
The Xmax has a 292cc engine and the Zontes a 349cc and is developed by Zontes.
If the 350 is not enough you can wait for the Zontes 501
@@Marc.Stones ok, thanks for the answer, was not aware of a new bigger engined scoot is coming. To the engine: you are right zylinder displacement and some details were changed, but the engine case is basically the same (maybee license), had the engine open on my xmax for vario tuning quite sometime to see similarities. However, not important, I am happy to see that its worth to change from BMW to Zontes. Will check if i can testride one somewhere.
Have funn, greetings from hungary!

Compare it with the bmw and tell us the pros and cons
A comparison will follow soon.
It might be a good value for money, but i need to say that there are lots of victims out there, who regret buying this bike in my country. No service, no spare parts, no qualified technician. When you experience a problem, you are on your own. Building a motorbike can be super simple for Chinese, but building a reliable brand takes years.
Yes same where I live only service center is 100km away the shop which sells them I wanted to buy one but I'll check out first about service and spare parts 😊
And that will also have a serious effect on resale value. Being cheaper to buy is pointless if it loses more value than a honda.
Resell value is terrible
No many assistance center around the world !
No sure about the reliability as it’s a fairly new brand !
Really enjoyed both your recent videos on the scooter I think it’s a great design and excellent value for money 👍
Thanks Gary 🤙🏻
