My first question is always 'does it have underseat storage?' — but blind-spot detection and front-and-rear dash cams at this price is honestly unfair. At 190kg with 26 horsepower it's got plenty of room to handle Asian traffic, and I've got a soft spot for solid maxi-scooters like this.

190kg and 26hp is plenty for Asian traffic

I care more about seat height and maneuverability than horsepower

For the same price the NMAX feels more reassuring, no?

This looks like it'd carry more, might be better for touring

Having blind-spot detection standard from the start is quietly a big help

What exactly does the blind-spot detection detect?
