My Symphony SR 125 is going to my friend at the end of the month, so I was looking at the new JET 14.. So the review is at very welcomed timing.. Another good one, Alex... Kudos.
I’m surprised that scooters haven’t caught on here in America. I live in a pretty populated area. This would resolve a lot of issues for single people and couples without kids.
Very interesting. Looks like Sym have moved the Jet 14 more toward the Orbit/Fiddle platform with the under-floor fuel tank, which is no bad thing. Shame about the windscreen, I have a big touring windscreen on my Fiddle and it's really good at deflecting the rain, wind and bugs.
I confess, I smile watching you kamikaze drive through traffic while staying focused on the subject matter, (quite a feat if I do say so myself)?!👍🏻 Very thorough review, (as always). Best, Rola (Oregon / USA).
@@RideWithAlex Understood, but you’re doing all that while never missing a beat with the information?! That’s an entirely different level of concentration while riding! Best / R
Yes, but it doesn't have "bulbs". This is true of any bike with LED headlights, the diodes are soldered in the case of the head light, you can't change them unless you know how to solder.
That fuel tank relocation and filling arrangement is scooter engineering inspiration. It will change the riding experience beyond imagination. I would add a usb outlet and a bigger screen but they’ve left themselves some scope for planned model upgrades throughout its lifecycle. You might get away with small bar end mounted hand guards.
Hello Alex, Do you know if the passenger's leg is getting hot due to teh down on the right leg in the footrest from the exhaust of the air from the radiator
Another point I want to make sure of. They market this model as saying that the motor oil is changed every 5,000 kilometers. Is this true? It is hot in Egypt.
Sym says if you use quality oil you can go 5000km but you have to check your oil level every 1000km. Tbh I don't recommend more then 2500km in any small engines that have less then 1L of oil in them.
@@RideWithAlex Hi, ich denke, dass die Wasserkühlung heutzutage nur Vorteile bringt. Konstantere Motortemperaturen sind besser für Mechanik und das Öl. Eine Wasserpumpe gibt es ja bei Sym auch nicht, die kaputt gehen könnte. Auch das Mehrgewicht hält sich in Grenzen. Ich fahre den ADX 125 und liebe ihn!
Hi, I hope you had a great time in Greece, do you think it's worth changing my sym jetx 125 for this? The power os more? I like also the space under the seet to this evo
Φίλε μου μη το αλλάξεις. Έχεις ένα καλό μηχανάκι να κάνεις τη δουλειά σου. Πεταμένα λεφτά είναι, μικρές οι διαφορές. Βάλε τα στην άκρη για κάτι άλλο που θα χρειαστείς.
I still haven't decided which scooter to buy and you've made it a lot harder with this one hahahaha I can't decide what to do start off with a more touring scooter like Joyride 125, adx 125 or cruisym 125 or go cheaper and then buy one of those with a larger engine later down the track and start this or Jet 4 RX. it's not really about money unless I want to buy a joyride or cuisym 300 later down the track a more expensive 125 would slow that down but eh if it can get me adventuring I don't care
Hi Alex. Greetings from an Zontes 350E owner. I just wanted to ask if your dealership (sense you are in EU) has any information from Zontes when 368G is coming to Europe. It is officially announced now with the price in China and sense you are official dealership for Zontes I wondered do you already have an info. TIA
Hello Alex, great work on all of your videos i really enjoy them! I would like to ask if you know , Jet 14 evo 2024 and ADX 125 have the same 125 L/C engine? Thank you :)
Salut, Alex!. Mie mi se pare excelent si pentru touring in varianta de 125 pentru ca are range mai mare. Nu ma deranjeaza lipsa parbrizului(intotdeauna mi-au placut naked-urile). Intrebarea este daca Evo s-ar putea descurca si pe soft off-road. Imi place sa ies si pe forestiere(mai bune sau mai proaste). Multumesc!
Un forestier ușor poate fără probleme, adaptezi viteza la condițiile de drum. Am urcat eu cu Symphony ST pe iezer-păpușă la 2500m, 40km pe forestier pe sens.
Good morning Alex I have added you, let me know here.....! I would like to ask you 1.97 do you sit comfortably on such a scooter,....??Because it has a flat floor I say ....(At the moment I have Sh....And I will Just change Scooter always with a flat floor and up to 300,cc....
Hey alex please respond to me whenever you see my comment. I would like to know what is the normal RPM for this scooter please cause i think mine has a slightly high rpm level. And thank you in advance❤️
@ the rpm meter is labeled (1-2-3-4-5-6-……till 12 I think) so while moving on a speed for example 60 km/hour what is the normal RPM?? And is it the same for the 150cc liquid cooled version?
@mohamedashraf9299 depends if your accelerating or not, on full throttle it should be arround 6800 Rpm for acceleration, but in cruising at 60km/h it should be arround 6000 Rpm
It seems kind of lazy to me to use the same engine as previous models I would expect improvements like lower fuel consumption,more horsepower more torque and the main question is why don't they go 200cc and they prefer 169cc if someone know I would like a reply to my comment
You're looking at it wrong. This class is basically upted 125cc, with imperative to stay economical and affordable to buy, ride and service. It's perfect in that sense. Belt and transmission are the same, engine is basically the same, but whit a more muscle in climbing urban hilly roads.. 👌
Hi Alex I'm Yassin from Morocco, I've been watching your videos for a while and I appreciate the information you share with us and I have a question for you, would you advise me to buy the sym symphony st 200 because I liked it but I'm not sure about the quality and efficiency, I would be grateful if you answered me thank you

Man sym are absolutely killing it at the moment in the scooter game.

@@RideWithAlex Understood, but you’re doing all that while never missing a beat with the information?! That’s an entirely different level of concentration while riding! Best / R
Hello, I read that if the light bulbs are burned you have to change the whole front mechanism. Is this true? Because it costs 500€ here in Greece
Yes, but it doesn't have "bulbs". This is true of any bike with LED headlights, the diodes are soldered in the case of the head light, you can't change them unless you know how to solder.
For a second I forgot where you and my heart was my in mouth as you went down the right hand lane. I am not awake yet.
Excellent video
Thank you!
I love my jet14 50cc 🎉❤🎉❤

It has a USB outlet next to the ignition key.
@@RideWithAlex I saw that in the comments after I shot my mouth off!🤣
When will Jet X get these upgrades?
I have no idea, there was nothing presented at eicma this year.
@RideWithAlex thanks Alex and what do you think of the refined Nmax125 2024/25 model? And is it better than the Jet X in your opinion?
@africansavagekd1 haven't ridden it, the new model, only saw it at EICMA and yes it looks better.
great review Alex! Did sym change the factory tyres? I 've heard they were pretty bad for the previous model
Still the same CST tires. They are good in the dry, problems start to appear in the rain.
Hello Alex, Do you know if the passenger's leg is getting hot due to teh down on the right leg in the footrest from the exhaust of the air from the radiator
On the right that is the intake for the fan and the exhaust of the radiator is bellow the middle of the scooter.
Another point I want to make sure of. They market this model as saying that the motor oil is changed every 5,000 kilometers. Is this true? It is hot in Egypt.
Sym says if you use quality oil you can go 5000km but you have to check your oil level every 1000km. Tbh I don't recommend more then 2500km in any small engines that have less then 1L of oil in them.
@@RideWithAlexHy,Honda SH 155i, water colled,every 7000km changed,with no problem with engine,and I have now 55000 km.
I'm surprised that it isn't keyless.. 🤔
Not a deal breaker but, once you owned a scooter with it, you find it very useful...
Which do you prefer air or water cooled? I know the advantages and disadvantages of both. But which do you prefer?
I have the air cooled on my Symphony ST I think that says it all :)
@@RideWithAlex When I look at the difference in price and the added complication on such small engines you may be onto something.

Are u gonna do a review of the Mamba 160?
The video goes live on Saturday
Another informative video.
Does it come in LC?
🙏🇹🇭
Yes, 125cc LC
in sfarsiiit !!! ohohooo
Which is beter for city commuting and around?This or Symphony my friend?
They are both the same size with the same engines. They are both just as good, depends which one you like most.
What is difference between lc and evo
The Evo is a new model, lc means the engine is liquid cooled. You can get the Evo with liquid cooled engines and air cooled engines.
Hi, I hope you had a great time in Greece, do you think it's worth changing my sym jetx 125 for this? The power os more? I like also the space under the seet to this evo
În terms of practicality yes it's worth the change.

Great video! How many liters is the underseat storage? Fuel consumption per 100 km? Big thanks. Always enjoy your reviews.
If I remember correctly same as the symphony 200st manufacturer says 2.7l/100km . I have talked to many 200st owners and most say 3.1 to 3.5/100km

How much distance does cross from a full fuel tank till it empties
About 250-300km depends how hard you ride it

@@laurentiudogaru6596 da, nu arata consumul.
Crezi ca ar merge oare montata seaua de pe jet 14 evo pe mamba? Chiar si cu mici modificari. Pare f confortabila fata de cea a lui mamba
N-au nici o treaba una cu cealaltă din ce mi se pare. Trebuie măsurată dar cred ca dimensiunile și forma sunt complet diferite
What was the fuel consumption?
About 3L/100km
Greetings from Athens Alex.
Between Voge sr1 adv 125cc and Sym jet 14 evo 125cc I bought Voge....I want your opinion
I've never seen the Voge in person.
I didn’t see charging port for the phone here, does it have one ?
Yes, next to the ignition key.
Hello I am 5ft 5 and can it be change from kph to mph
I think so, try going to odometer and the press the M and S buttons together for 2-3 seconds.
I have this one right now in 1040 km. I have liquid cooled ! How many kms will it do? u think it can go 200 km to 300 km trip?
2-300 should be the fuel range.
@@RideWithAlex I mean. Can i go to a big distance trip? 200 km + will it be safe?
@@salot19 oh yeah, for sure.
What’s the top speed and what the 0-60?
Top speed about 100km/h and 0-60km/h haven't measured it.
alex i know that you have a moto chanel ... but if it easy for you make 2-3 episode tour of your city 🙂
I could at some point :)
as quality is it better than ST 200 ??
Same Sym quality
That screen seems like you can't see it against sunlight, isn´t it?
It's more the camera, I could see it fine in direct sunlight.
How fast?
Official top speed is 99km/h
no keyless??
For Romania, no.
Neither for Greece@@RideWithAlex
how much fuel?
The fuel tank is 7 liters.
the first set of tyres you get is very bad consider change it
