Hi spicy! I'm a sixty five year old motorcycle rider ,when I was a youth you could ride a 250cc motorcycle with L plates for ever or take your test. No cbt no theory test just ride for about 20 or thirty mins a few highway code questions and bingo passed your test. Anyway I digress I completely agree with you about scooters so much fun and storage capacity etc I have had a lexmoto riviera125 smashing little bike I live in London been to Oxford,Eastbourne, Cannock,Southend etc no problems at all. My bike is now a zsb 125 and I regret getting rid of the scooter. I will go for the pegasus 300 it will easily do motorway speeds and No gear changing!! Easy for us old coffers! Keep the videos coming, ride safely. 😉
I currently ride a 750 but for what I need from a bike a scooter would be ideal for my needs. I may do 14 miles a day to work and back. I've rode scooters in the past and I find them more fun and convenient. I've been holding out for a 300/350 but funding is an issue at the moment, which may take me to look into a 125 leximoto for the price. And petrol isn't getting any cheaper. Thanks for showing and sharing your thoughts 👍
For general use and touring the xmax is best bike I.ve had. And that's a lot! 6ft 4 too. Knees are a little high but it's a lot more comfy than enfield interceptor for me. But I.m getting on now! 😀
I have a full keyless system on my bike no buttons on the fob and it's great I just walk up to it press a button on the bars and it unlocks press and hold and its locked. It only has a 1.5 meter range which is good and it has an immobiliser. I will say though it's a 125 so won't be a specific target for theives and.
@@Zelatur no issues. The suspension if you hit a big hole in the rode you will understand that. It's a little too hard but you have 5 options in suspensions
I'm 6 foot 4 and can only get up to a 125. Any suggestions? Bike or moped along as its big. The burgman 125 was comfortable however whilst moving steering full to left or right I bars where hitting my knees. Is this a safety issue because otherwise the burgman 125 seemed comfy. The yamaha mt125 was too small for me which was one bike someone suggested
Sounds like you’re gonna have some major problems. The MT125 has a rather high seat height too as far as 125s go, and the Burgman thing is massive and chunky looking. Have you tried the Kawasaki J125? Not exactly nice looking but?
You need to ride xmax300. Will run at 80 all day if you need to. I have one. Amazingly quick and relaxing to ride. I get 105mpg riding the hills. I also have various large bikes but this one does the most miles. Just so easy.
I want to buy this bike I really do but when I speak to fellow bike riders there want to steer me towards Sym Jet, NMax, PCX or SH Is there a certified dealer and mechanic for this brand in London are parts easily available and fairly priced Can you do another more in-depth Video I’ll watched both but I still don’t no why everyone wants me away from lexmoto & I liked and subscribed
If “everyone” is saying to go for a SYM, N Max or PCX then it’s for a reason… better quality, better reliability, and much better resale value from any of the other scooters you mentioned. Not to mention more power and a higher top speed than this Lexmoto.
How reliable is this bike you think and whats the down fall on them if any im relly thinking about get on can you go on motorway with this bike thank you from steve
Yes, you can take a 125cc on a motorway IF you have a license, not allowed on a CBT. But I would highly suggest not taking it on a motorway as you are not going to be able to keep up with the traffic. As for reliability, you would be better off asking an owner, not a reviewer, though I have heard they do pretty well.
Some have said the proximity fob cuts the engine out when out of range when the engine is running when others have said it does not, it did not when I tried it did not cut out the engine, would anyone know for certain please?
Anyone know why the 2022 aura (euro5) doesn’t have a kickstarter on the side? My battery’s dead after one month of winter non use! Now I’m gonna have the rigmarole of jumping it from the car.
They likely did it to cut costs or not seen as needed. Lead acid batteries do die in the cold if it is not used and the stock batts are not the best. If you are leaving for weeks at a time, it is worth getting a battery optimizer when you replace the battery (If you have power near the bike that is)

@@spicy110 well actually i found out today that the euro 5 was released at a pp of £2099. Im guessing its covid/brexit related...or at least that'll be the excuse
After speaking to lexmoto themselves,iv found out that the price hike is due mainly to highly inflated shipping container prices. You can't really blame them for covering their overheads ,but still its an extra £301 for literally nothing.
@@spicy110 well seeing as the Aura is now £2,300, it’s only an £800 difference. Not only will you get all that money back come resale time (PCXs keep most of their value), you’ll get a better quality and much more reliable bike with a higher top speed and more power in the mean time.
@@17hmr243 oh right, well I’m sure you could still enjoy it for yourself. I had a PCX for a while before I got my CB125R and I enjoyed it in a different way
This bike is no bargain at 2 Grand. It is obviously, at 10.3hp, well under powered and has few advantages over a moped. A Honda Forza 125 is a very capable machine, a lot more expensive but at 15hp is up to the job. The Forza will do 70mph+, tackle hills with ease, take two people comfortably, etc. and is a better bike in everyway. Why Lexmoto turn out dross like this is beyond me. The Aura is obviously trying to look like a maxi-scooter but it fails miserably. Scooters are really popular at the moment and there are some great machines out there ... this is not one of them.
I have a Forza 125 and don't understand why you don't think this is a bargain!!! You can buy 2 of these and still have £900 spare for gear. My forza has had both mirrors replaced under warranty, dodgy petrol cap and a centre stand that failed just after 2 years that Honda won't admit is a design fault (an ex Honda chap told me the main pins are under-greased during manufacture.

Putting lighter rollers in these auras respond really well. Especially with tighter clutch springs.

@@makrygiannis8049 any issues? how is the suspension?
@@Zelatur no issues. The suspension if you hit a big hole in the rode you will understand that. It's a little too hard but you have 5 options in suspensions
So, whats best to ride, the aura or diablo? Much difference in performance?
Can I add, that you can also use the key as a touch sensor.. so access to the seat is still doable with a dead battery I believe.
I had one before it got robbed and it never did that
What is the difference between the Aura 125cc and the Apollo 125cc I presume that they both have the same engine.

Great u may also fix next time liggt over exposure because we cant see nothin othervthen black and red lump on the middle
just to say on the new versions of the aura the battery is not under that tray but right behind the hinge to the seat

Is it me or does the Lexmoto key strongly resemble the key fob for Porsche automobiles/SUVs?
I have this scooter but it's the 175cc version (here in the Philippines) and key fob cases that fit mine are porches.
Some have said the proximity fob cuts the engine out when out of range when the engine is running when others have said it does not, it did not when I tried it did not cut out the engine, would anyone know for certain please?
That is not how keyless system works, if you get out of range of the key it will keep going until you turn it off and then it won't start.
