Hi All,
We want to get a small scooter to fit in the Hymer garage. We are limited on weight behind the rear axle so have narrowed it down to a Chinese monkey bike at 90kg or the Honda Vision at 110kg.
We are not bikers although I have a full motorbike licence from my youth. We just need it for five or ten mile trips for shopping sightseeing etc. We have a 35 year old Honda C90 which is ideal but we live in France and it is just too difficult to turn it French.
So do you or have you owned one? What is it like, is it as light as they say. We will be two up, 13stone and 9stone is it comfortable for shortish trips and can it handle the sort of hills we are likely to experience in Spain, Portugal etc. We will also need a back box to take helmets etc would a fairly large one put it out of Balance?
Thanks for any help.
Steve
