Cons
Con Too heavy to pedal
Weighing 180 lbs plus your weight, this makes it difficult to pedal.
Con Low max weight capacity
The maximum weight allowable is only 250 lbs. It is quite low compared to others that have around 330 lb weight limit. It can accommodate two people, but you have to be mindful of your weight and your passenger so that you don't exceed the weight limit. However, this no problem for petite people.
Con Lack of storage space
The only space you have that give some sort of storage space is a little rack behind the seat that you can use to mount a cargo and a hook at the steering column for your helmet or plastic bag.
Con Weak motor for uphills
The body of this motor is quite heavy, weighing 180 lbs. With its weight and that of the driver, the motor is not strong enough for going uphills. At slopes 10 degrees or greater, the moped struggles and you may end up on foot, pushing the moped up the hill.
Con You cannot have both the extra cargo space and the passenger seat
Using the boot cargo space means you have to sacrifice the passenger seat, while using the passenger seat means no extra storage. You cannot have both.
Con Awkward position of the horn
The horn is placed on the right hand side, which by norm should be placed on the left. It makes it difficult to horn when working with the throttle.
