Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha NMAX 125 2021
The NMAX 125 is and remains an uncomplicated scooter that works great - and now looks even snazzier. Just sit on it, ride off and feel good. Thanks to its low weight, it remains very nimble in curves, and manoeuvring in the city is child's play. The driving performance is okay, the chassis offers sufficient comfort and the braking system seems surprisingly mature. The cargo compartment under the seat cannot compete with the X-Max 125, but it offers a surprising amount of space compared to the direct competition. In the end, the moderate price is also fully justified.
Piaggio Medley S 125 ie IGET 2020
The Piaggio Medley 125 S is cleverly positioned in the urban scooter segment. Compared to the direct Japanese competition, it offers more in one respect: storage space under the seat. With a massive 36 litres, the storage compartment can easily hold two full-face helmets - a value we otherwise only knew from large scooters. While driving, it makes a good impression, but if you are in a hurry at the traffic lights, the start-stop system should be deactivated.
