NOTE: We have so far achieved a top speed of an indicated 71 mph - There is a GPS Verified +10% speedo error. - The gps recorded a top speed of 64 mph. The bike currently has 250 miles and is a long way from being broken in. - Авто та транспорт
They are a fantastic Scooter , I have the RA GP200 for over 15mth now . Very reliable , also these are fuel injector and Liquid cooled . Very nippy and indeed capable of over 70mph, Excellent with fuel economy. I have a Scomadi TL125CC which again has so far been brilliant again very reliable and easy to maintain. The Scomadi is five year old . Mainly plastic body panels as mine was second batch 2015 . This model is air cooled and carburettor set up .
Great information. Very much appreciated.
That’s a great review, can you tell how your test rides are going
Cleland auto. Amazind videos. Thanks James . Expecting 150cc RC 2020 from Vespa Motorsport this week. Thanks James for ur info. I let s.d know. Ur a good guy. Cheers to u and everything u do.
Fun Info Uncle Phil!
Bike is awesome. Good info.
In a recent article I read about the Chinese way of manufacture, these were called "ghost factories"; in that as soon as the day shift would shut down and go home, a little later a smaller second crew would arrive and start producing and shipping their product.
To be honest its nothing new, Ford has been doing it since they invented the production line. 8 hours shift, 3 shift a day.
I bought a Scomadi in the UK
I like the Royal Alloy , But they shafted Scomadi in more ways than stated on here, They ignored. Request to upgrade components and cost Scomadi a lot in Warranty claims.
Here in Malta i saw a hand full of Scomadi`s and thats it .Now i saw one on sale used but im not sure if its worth looking if there is no dealer / parts back up..
I own a GP300S, IT'S A FANTASTIC SCOOTER.
MY GP300S IS BUILT IN THAILAND.
I am so happy I own one. 2021 GT150 soon many will catch on.
I recently purchased a 150cc royal alloy. If i put on a scorpion pipe on it will it increse the speed significantly.? i.e 5 mph . On my LI i saw no significane. Thankyouverymuch
Are you able to ship these to Canada?
cant hear audio
I'm all confused about Lambretta. That RA looks classic.
J Boy basically it was designed in the the Uk in small batches. By Scomadi
Then they decided to produce them in China and they were shafted by Royal alloy.
I am a scooter guy. I've have a Vespa 250 and two Honda Metropolitans. I like the look of the Royal Alloy and I'm considering getting one of them also. What is the largest engine that they come with?
They now have the GP300 with a 21hp Vespa GTS clone engine.
Royal Alloy TG300. Series two clone. Piaggio cloned engine.
Should have invested in a decent microphone.
Yeah, we're making a killing on these free videos...we should roll some of that profit into better equipment. You could always donate a few bucks to help out the cause.
hey unkie Phil can you hook me up with the link to the podcast on he royal alloy?
How about less talking and more showing? No need for a new microphone nor paying fees...
One day I’ll get another scooter.
What are your thoughts on the GT150 vs the Kick? They both have a similar price point and a the retro style.
The Royal Alloy GT150 is MUCH taller.
Cleveland Moto Thanks for the reply. Hope to make it out there soon.
Hi Cleveland Moto any word on the new Royal Alloy 300 series release date stateside?
I'm interested as well. Any word on whether Genuine will be importing the 300cc version?
I want to purchase a RA gt150, but I’m a bit concerned about it possibly being too heavy and tall for a 5’4” female. I know it’s all steel. I’m petite but strong, but I feel I would struggle with it. Can someone advise on this?
Go to the dealer and try to sit on one, ive read its a bit tall for short riders
Yep, it's TALL
Chiaramente INSCRITTO!
Does it have an SYM motor or is it a Hanway built unit?

Knowing you've had pretty good luck with Chinese scooters, let's see what develops.
I remember reading scootering magazine many years ago and seeing what Lambretta Innovations were doing in the world of bringing an auto, classic bodied scooter to the masses. They were putting a hell of a lot of money and effort into their bikes, I recall one even had carbon fibre panels. Very cool looking scooters they were too. I emailed them at one point to ask when we could expect to see a production model and they said it was to be soon. Years passed before I drove past a Scomadi sitting outside a local Piaggio dealer and when I got home I got on the web to see who was behind these bikes. Happily, I found out it was Franks company. When I found out about what Royal Alloy had done I was gutted. All those years for what? To their credit, they don't mention it on their website. My problem is, I like them and I hear they are a good bike. I kind of wish they were crap. Plus I can only get an RA where I live.
Based on the 2 we've had at the shop Hanway has a lot of work to do on the quality issues. We had a serious meltdown in the wiring harness, and the damn things are too chonky for anyone under about 5'9". Bring on a proper wiring harness with some thicker wiring and a fuel injector and figure out a way for my 5'4" wife to be able to ride it. Because she's got no problem riding her Vespa GTS300.
Are they both made out of plastic? Thanks
The Royal Alloy is Metal, very Metal. In fact, it's more metal than a Vespa.
restore the audio, please
I think i'll just get a Honda Cub...
Mark....I'm a PX Man, but wow what a statement...
I love the cub so so much,
Had one back in the day as couldn't afford a new late 70s PX..
It was a great and fast ride, believe me brother..cubs are super ultra cool... lov'em
Nice to make your acquaintance.
Wayne.
Worked on both the royal alloy looks better but are cheap n nasty but the lambo is better quality but dont look as good not as good as the originals never will be but it cant be to bad if it gets people on the road not my thing though love the 2 stroke the smell n gears do it for me
Wow, I guess 10 years really changes what a "public service announcement" means concerning a Chinese made scooter.
i have the WK balesema 125 ln 125 clone 14 000 miles on it brill scooter 1300 pounds on the road in 2015 gy 6 engine clone half the price of the Lambreta ln 125 and jest as good to ride
We've learned to avoid the really crappy ones. We're also seeing a much higher quality product coming out of China these days.
@@ClevelandMoto As I have stated elsewhere the Chinese HAD to up their game, with competition from India and other foreign countries (Not to mention motor bikes being outlawed in many Chinese cities) simply continuing to produce substandard products for the world market was not a viable plan for long term survivability and growth. The net result being the slow "Japanization" of the of the motorcycle/motor scooter industry on the mainland. Which can also mean for a customer, a short window of opportunity to make a value purchase before the Chinese prices also rise in "quality"
You couldn't give me a bike with fuel injection, other than to sell to some idiot. I have a 2009 Stella 2 stroke manual shift scooter and absolutely love it. But a big part of the reason why I love it and enjoy it so much is because it is a 2 stroke manual shift manual clutch scooter. You get a lot of interaction with the machine, which to me is what riding is all about. You also get the wonderful 2 stroke noise and smell, and the clunks, rattles, and squeaks that go with riding a vintage scooter. I really have no desire to own or ride a 4 stroke scooter with an automatic transmission and linked brakes, no matter how good it may look. I have over 14K miles on my Stella. And because vintage Vespa parts fit it, and are widely available, I should be able to keep it going for the rest of my life. I'm also on the lookout for a late '70s Vespa P200E. Modern scooters and motorcycles do nothing for me but turn me off.
Stella "vespa" factory in india is closed now... So how come royal alloy is from the same producer?
They are made by Hanway in China. (But have an SYM motor)
@Rolling On Tens. The only thing SYM has to do with it is supplying the engine. (The rest came off the Scomodi redesign of the classic Lambretta )
@Rolling On Tens. At least you got the 200 version in that nice shade of Great Pumpkin orange, something we can't get in the states.
@Rolling On Tens. The metal version was the one I was referring to.
@Rolling On Tens. Thanks. In a place like the states were there are longer distances, I'd opt for the 200 or even a 300 if I could get it. As people here feel that the posted speed limits are only a suggestion LOL! (At least in orange they might see you)
Need in India
what?
Regardless of how good it rides, it's still a chinese rip-off and this guy isn't even denying it. "Ethics be damned".
So, an Italian motorcycle, made in China, with a British flag on the logo? Absolutely crazy, that makes no sense at all!!! .......But then you take one for a test drive. (Mine's being delivered tomorrow.)
A British designed tribute of an Italian bike being built in Thailand by a Chinese company. The same company they hired, then sued, then lost, and now they work for. Yeah, nothing special about that in todays economy.
The reality is, Scomadi didnt have a finished product and allowed hanway to correct some stuff. Without proper design protection it created a dispute around who owned what. The chinese are masters at taking ownership through design tweaks. Hanway spent a lot on production and manufacturing. A lot of inexperience on global licensing and trade practices was a big factor. nipclaw.blogspot.com/2017/11/scomadi-v-r-engineering-and-others.html?m=1
I had a look at a Chinese made Scomadi and the quality was very poor. As much as I like the look of these bikes I’d go back to a Vespa because it’s a known quantity. Post CCP virus I’m making a conscience effort to avoid Chinese made products.
why are you avoiding chinese made products ?
@@Scale_Slotcars_Latvia Don't most people try to do that?
@@ChrisW444 No only ridiculous people who are brainwashed by their government's. You do know the item you wrote this reply on is full of Chinese components
I came here to give you a like but I have clicked the dislike button. I have no pre intention to dislike it, after all the design of Royal Alloy TG 300 so eye catching and better than the others. But in this video I became aware that the RA makes replica of Lambretta and there are automatic speed transmission.
Till today I am maintaining my old Scooter with 2STROKE four speed transmission and metal body.
So I know how easy to handling a manual transmission vehicle.
No one is going to ride a replica.
Thanks for the information.
If I have to know more about RA TG 300 tell me ...
We've been really liking the Royal Alloy - It's a very solid bike and it seems to handle well even with bigger riders.
So what did you think it was when you looked here. Did you think it was a geared lambretta posing as a royal alloy... Your argument makes zero sense!
This is full of inaccuracies.
Here in Thailand they're saying the fuel tank is 1.3 gallons.
AUDIO SUCKS
S
yeah, it does. We should start charging so we could afford some better audio equipment.
Simple answer,if you want a Lambretta buy an original .All your buying here is a cheap nasty Chinese heap
