The intended marketplace is middle-aged radical similar yours genuinely who request a reliable motorcycle to get to bureau and connected the mode backmost home, prime up immoderate groceries:

The scooter is disposable successful a batch of colours. I particularly liked the "Pangong Blue" colour scheme. Here it is successful the Cardamom Green shade:

The motorcycle weighs astir 119 kg but it is casual to assistance the rear instrumentality disconnected the crushed and determination it around:

Both the levers get a "relief cut". In lawsuit of a fall, the lever volition interruption astatine this weakened spot and let you to proceed your ride. Considering the magnitude of electronics connected this bike, it's a utile feature:

The cleanable plan doctrine extends to the broadside basal arsenic well. It wholly folds into a neat slot with conscionable a tiny articulator exposed:

The pillion connected immoderate two-wheeler has to bash a creation each clip to get the footpegs out. Sometimes the footpegs are soiled and successful immoderate cases, stuck.

Ergonomics and Comfort

The Rizta's spot is comfortable. There are nary ergonomic issues and it feels comfy enough. I rode the Rizta for ~60 km and astatine nary constituent did I consciousness bushed oregon uncomfortable. The lone contented is that the legs get stuck if the handlebar is afloat turned successful either direction.

I americium conscionable astir 5'10" successful tallness with a due dada body. My knees got stuck nether the handlebar. It's intolerable to thrust this motorcycle portion sitting excessively adjacent to the handlebar. So nary crisp cutting, which is fine.
