The moment I heard a scooter with an automatic transmission could still downshift, I was completely sold. Looking at it through a 'scooter angle,' it's rare to see a model add this much riding enjoyment on top. Electrification keeps moving forward and that leaves me a little conflicted, but seeing this kind of evolution in AT tech genuinely makes me happy.

At 155cc, running costs should stay pretty realistic too

An automatic that can still downshift — I didn't believe it at first

Judging by the name, YECVT sounds like a whole new electronic CVT approach
