She's just about to do her CBT and is looking at this,

Anybody know anything about them? Can't find much info on them.
She is going to sit her CBT and test on a bike in case she can get a bike in later years. (She has problems with her bones and would struggle to get her leg over a bike all the time atm)
Cheers.
Lexmoto are shite to be honest.
My missus has a Sym Fiddle 2 125cc auto (they are in version 3 now) and you can get interest free credit over 2 years.
Our one cost about £1700 brand new on the road with a top box and quality lock and chain and hasn't missed a beat in 2 years with one service.
I ride it occasionally and apart from being limited in power (as all 125 bikes are) it's great, easy to ride and quick enough for A roads.
All this 'Chinese bikes are crap' is too much of a generalisation, it wasn't that long ago Honda, Yamaha and Kawasaki were referred to as 'Jap Crap' by many bikers.
In fact those same era Japenese bikes are now demanding big money as classic machines.
I don't think the Sym scooter will reach the same classic status but nothing wrong with them either.
You want style - buy a Vespa 125 for 3 times the price and watch it fall apart.
Check out Sym, they are growing in poularity and have a good dealership spread for servicing and warranties.
