    I ordered 450 about a month ago. Can’t wait to ride that baby in south Cali.

  • @forrestbedford5603
    @forrestbedford5603 11 місяців тому

    I have the Halcyon 250. It's incredibly slow and under-powered. Getting up to 50mph on a flat road is nearly impossible. It needs constant maintenance and repair. It looks good, gets a lot of compliments, and is easy to handle. But I don't recommend it unless you are too old to ride anything bigger, have deep pockets, and have the time and experience to work on it. The Better Business Bureau rates the company as an "F," its lowest grade, because Janus ignores customer complaints about mechanical failures and warranty issues.

    • @johnconnor8373
      @johnconnor8373 11 місяців тому

      Why didn’t you take a ride before you bought it to realize it’s too slow, and ordered 450 instead? When you were taking a drive test, you couldn’t see it’s too slow??! 🤷‍♂️
