Test Drive

Posted by sb on 13th Oct 2011

I took the red 2011 Raptor for a test drive yesterday and here are my notes:
1) The Look & Feel: "Raptor" is a Big scooter. it feels big adn drives like a bike. With its huge wheels you really don't feel the imperfections of the road. The design is excellent. Very modern and "Bike" looking.
2) Engine. Raptor is a heavy bike and it drives like one as well. Raptor does not have the exceleration of the smaller scooters (with 50cc) but it more then compensate for it with the smoothness and stability.

3) Expirience. I had a second passanger on it and the bike did not skip a bit. The Seat is very comfortable for 2 people riding if needed and allows you to position yourself on the seat for both shorter or longer legs. I felt a bit more like a motocycle seating on this scooter then the rest of the scooters I test drove. The seat narrows at the front which really helps the stability of the rider.

all electrics and michenics worked great. afterall it is a brand new bike with 2 miles on it. Overall, best expirience so far very comfortable and smoth. On the downside it is probably more of a guys's scooter then ladies because of the size and weight. Enjoy...
