Specs

Pros
Pro Good suspension system
It has a full spring suspension system that helps a lot when riding off roads or rough terrains.
Pro Excellent brake system
It uses hydraulic brakes rather than the usual cable wire discs. Hydraulic system multiplies how much effort you put at the lever. Therefore, the actual braking force is greater than the force applied, making it excellent for sudden stops.
Pro Complete with display readouts
It is equipped with the following readouts: speedometer, odometer, battery level indicator, and lights indicator.
Pro Recharge on or off the moped
The batteries can be removed and can be recharged on or off the frame. This also means that when the battery has drained or was not recharged, you can replace it with a spare and still be able to use the moped while recharging the drained battery.
Pro Nice keyless ignition system
You can start the bike using its wireless remote. Also, not having to use keys means no keys rattling or hitting your knees (specially if you are a tall person).
Pro Anti-theft system for security
In addition to the locks that the storage compartments have, it is equipped with an anti-theft alarm system that is triggered when shaken. An added security feature is that its key ignition slot has a cover that you can slide. This cannot be opened without the cover key attached at the rear of the ignition key.
Pro Beautiful look
It has a cool futuristic look and beautiful light design. Unlike other scooters that have a detachable bulky rear storage compartment, its rear storage is neatly designed to get rid of the bulky look that detachable compartments bring.

Cons
Con No longer available
Con Problematic storage compartments
Closing the compartments may be difficult. The glove compartment doesn't close properly. It does not stay straight too. The seat storage doesn't lock in place easily. You may need to push it hard to get the lock to work. Also, it is made of plastic that is a bit flimsy.
Con Heavy to pedal
Weighing 155 lbs plus your weight, this makes it difficult to pedal.
Con Very long charging time
It takes 7 hours to fully charge its battery, while other mopeds would, in average, take only 5 to 6 hours, and the quick charging ones take 4 hours or less. This is no problem if you have a spare, so you can just replace the drained battery with a fully charged one while charging the drained one.
Con Plastic cover feels flimsy
The plastic cover is made from what appears to be cheap material. If somebody tries to break into your storage, he or she can definitely do it with less effort. Even its chain cover shakes a lot when riding off road.
Con Low max weight capacity
The maximum weight allowable is only 275 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 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.
