My Review of The S-maxx.

Nyccooldude · 09-11-2018, 10:58 PM

So I've had my S-maxx a little over 3 weeks now and I think it's time I shared my own experiences.
Let's start with the ride itself, very smooth take off and control. I love that it's a 155cc and can keep up with traffic on the Highway. Got to 82mph with wind on my back. I'm not to happy with the seat hump on it. Makes it a bit uncomfortable. Tires are wide enough where you can take turns with confidence vs having skinny tires.
The looks are pretty good all around. The storage is great!!! I can fit a full face with ease. As for mpg can't complain about it. 2 bucks and it's full from E. I'll add more to this later as its still new and I haven't fully finished looking over it yet. Looking to do an LED headlight and mounting a powered phone holder.

I don't know why manufacturers insist on putting a hump in the seat. A flat seat really helps the scooter accommodate taller riders.

Exactly!!! I'm a short rider and it even annoys me. I can only imagine riders 5'-9" and above having to slap knees with handlebars

That looks much more comfortable than the little bit of seating they actually give

I am a short rider, and I must say I don't notice the hump. That being said, I still do not think the S-Max makes for a very good urban delivery vehicle in heavy downtown L.A. traffic. Then again, I don't think the no-powered Honda Metro 50cc we also have on board is a good delivery vehicle, either. But, I cannot complain considering I don't pay for maintenance, gas, or repairs, and still make over California minimum wage plus tips,

It annoys me because I like to sit mid seat so having the hump does bother on that part. Now when I have a passenger it ok cause of the cut off
