Short video showing how great it is to ride a Yamaha Zuma thru the Michaux State Forest when the leave are changing. Video was cut short because my GoPro quit working for some reason.
I had a Yamaha Vino 125, then a Majesty 400 scooter. The 400 made interstate riding a pleasure. Don't think I would get a Zuma, but the XMax 300 is on my radar. My current ride is a 2013 Super Tenere that is a great bike, but it's top heavy and it's tall. Great video...
I bought the china clone 150cc. Rode it around the neighborhood, then changed the oil. Filled It Up With Premium Gas. Got the break-in period. I'm in no hurry. Videos say it will do around 62 mph. That's fast enough for me !
25 mph is faster than I will go on forest roads. I like to go slow to see into the forest. Kinda like riding a horse without the horse. In fact I'd love a electric scooter if they had the power and range of a gas scooter. It's nice to go through the forest silently. I have an e bike but it's only good for 20 or 30 miles of level travel.
That's the fastest I go, usually even slower. I also enjoy the forest and especially finding trails that are seldom used. Thanks for watching, enjoy your riding.
Broke my tailbone on pavement using an electric scooter (3000 watt hub motor) when the rear wheel zipped out from beneath me at low speed. I was going 5-10mph. I bounced off the pavement before I realized I left the seat, hands still on the handlebars. The extra torque from electric motors is dangerous on any turn without some sort of traction control to keep the rear wheel from spinning out. FortNine documented a few of the low-speed accidents on turns.
I recently bought a Genuine Roughhouse for the purpose of doing similar riding. Do you transport your Zuma or are you fortunate to be able to ride it to your trail destinations?
Great video, Happypappy. It’s still a little too cold, wet and miserable to ride here, unless you have to. It won’t be long though and I’ll be doing the same thing with my 2013 Zuma 125. In the meantime, I’m enjoying the ride from your Zuma 125. 🛵💨💨💨
