mate the older carb models are fantastic admittedly the wiring is shoddy and the parts are cheap but they are comfortable and the exhausts are loud enough to give you a bit of road presence I highly recommend them
Hi Chris, good vlog. That bike looks like you could ride it all day long without a care in the world. I think that Lexmoto have hit the nail on the head with this one as it would suit so many different people and purposes. As a commuter bike it's a no brainer and it would be far cheaper than Bus fare's to work and back over a year. All the best.
@@Ridingreviews well I ended up getting my CBT certificate today, it was a great experience, loved every minute of it. Off to pick up my ZSB tomorrow morning then my riding adventure begins 🤙🏻
i like video day everyone is nice about my videos 95% of the time anyway thanks for joining my website i am trying to make it the place to go for help with Chinese bikes we will see how it goes
Great video, as always. If I could make a suggestion. How about doing a video about warrenty for bikes. What's covered, what isn't. Perhaps some case examples of particular bikes.
I got one of these 2 weeks ago, and they are a very good bike. Still running it in so not opened it up yet, but is very comfy and runs well (and sounds nice too)
any issues with the clutch and changing gear in the few hundred miles you've done so far? I bought mine with only 180 miles done as there was an intermittent fault with the ignition system, when it was going through the first thousand miles it would occasionally stick in 3rd or 4th when trying to go down a gear and it would have to put into the gear above or kicked to un-budge it.
@@Ridingreviews OK thanks for the fast reply, would there be a reason for it stopping and becoming smooth as butter then? Surly the issue would only worsen even more
I'm considering one of these at the moment. Seems a good value bike, also quite good looking. However...I suspect I'll look huge on it as I'm 6ft 2. That applies to most 125s though.
Good video, enjoy your reviews, I’m considering doing my cbt and getting a 125. Daft question, but i wouldn’t like the L plate in that position on the front, could it be stuck on the front mudguard? Also, you mentioned the bike needing to be run in, what’s that?
Just watching this again as I will be on a low budget (2k or less). This sounds really good when you started it in the garage. Unfortunately nearest dealer to me with this bike is 41 miles away!
@@Dazej5 there are about 140 lexmoto dealers in the UK they haven't released a 2021 version of this bike yet but hopefully soon the nearest to this at the moment Is the lexmoto Michigan
Mine i still performing fine after 2yrs in more or less daily use. Now becoming an old fart, I have had a few new bikes over the years and the ZSB is the only one that did not have to go back to the dealers to have some niggling little fault remedied.
@@Ridingreviews Only 3500 so far, would have been more, but Covid intervened. Gets most use on Sundays, as I am a busy non-stipendary Priest. the ZSB is great for nipping round the back roads to village Churches. It uses so little petrol I have never bothered claiming expenses.
Hi Chris i have just joined your Website and will have a look later : ) Now you can do something for me lol. I am going to upgrade my Lexmoto Echo but i can't make my mind up and I am stuck between a Lexmoto Diablo 50cc or The Lexmoto Echo Plus 50cc. I think that they both use the same engine but the echo plus has slightly more BHP but i'm not sure! In your opinion which would you recommend going on reliability,performance, uphill torque and top speed? Have you done a vlog on the Lexmoto Diablo 50cc ? Sorry to be a pain and ask these question's but that is because i value your opinion. Thanks in advance.
this decision is all about looks in the echo should be a bit faster because it is slightly smaller and lighter but the diablo has better lights and looks better
@@Ridingreviews do you think they would be easy to take off and not leave much residual glue? Because that is pretty much the only thing I dislike about this bike .
Hi there. I am wanting to buy my first 125cc. I have been on a 50cc for almost a year now. I am on quite a tight budget. Currently, I am considering the zsb and assault. Which one would you recommend? I have to use a lot of 60mph roads to get to my college. Which one handles 60 better?
the zsb and the assault are the same sort of bike same engine they will both do 60mph and are both comfortable I prefer the ride of the assault but i also prefer the tyres on the zsb really the choice is yours and the difference in all the specs is negligible so go with which one you like the look of best
How hard would it be for lexmoto to give it a normal coloured petrol cap and normal analogue clocks or digital. Makes the bike look so tacky with the blue and bright colours
@@Ridingreviews oh really? Haha I just remember the last time I saw one having a blue cap and make it look so out of place, hopefully that's just a film that can be peeled off then haha
hello would this be okay for a 6ft3 guy and for fairly long rides as ill use it for normal commuting and long rides like todo a 200 mile round trip every 2 weeks also
@@Ridingreviews yeah ill pop down to my local dealer monday hoping they have both the zsb and isca in thanks for the videos bro really does help when deciding 👍
i'm 6 foot and my knees come level with the tank cap which is fine for me but 6.3 however... also the seat is designed in such a way that you slowly slide towards the tank a tank bag fixes the problem as it holds you in place
I don't suppose anyone knows how you can switch between kph and mph on this bike? Can't seem to find any mention of it in the owners manual, or anywhere else online for that matter, and mine is stuck in kph
In case anyone comes across this whilst looking for the answer, turns out you have to hold the mode button down whilst turning on the ignition and it switches between mph and kph. Still didn't find anywhere explaining that though, just thought I'd try it
@@Ridingreviews yep :) I read something about one bike you needing to hold that down for 10 seconds within 7 seconds of turning on the ignition, that obviously didn't work so I tried turning it on with it held down just in case :) Thanks for the reply, it's practically impossible to find that information
@@Ridingreviews oh no, what you suggested is exactly how to do it, I replied to my own question when I worked it out. You can say with confidence that's how to change it on a Lexmoto ZSB EFI 2019 model (SK125-8-E4) Edit: of course now I'll have to wait 3 to 4 months before I can actually ride it, as I'm starting on a provisional and when the local CBT courses start again in mid April, they're fully booked up until mid to late June already :/
Hi, where is that dealership located, can you post a phone number or the adress, I'm looking to get a scooter for work, my bike is too big for what I need, thanks
Nice looking bike. The paint colour makes it look a bit military which I like.
Its suppost to be reteo i think lol

thank you i am trying to get better every time sometimes it is a bit difficult
My mrs bought hers brand new in 2016 its only done 300 miles since then its becoming a museum piece in the garage

Good looking bike.
Thanks!
A reasonable road bicycle costs in the region of £800 to £1000. The pricing of this machine is unbelievable. But don't knock it if it works.
Exactly right
£1299 otr? Price has gone up about a third in 2 years :(
