@@МартинДиклиев Hi, could you tell me which model EXACTLY you are thinking about buying ? These days the Malagutis are made in China I believe.

Such fun on the scooter. Very impressive for a 50 cc. I think I might have to invest in one but a larger engine. There are next to no people or traffic in your videos !
Don't forget their practicality in a beer emergency Jonathan !!! 😂 It's a shame they no longer make 125 two stroke scooters, I think that is the sweet spot for scooter hijinks. I once bought an Aprilia SR 125 Troy Corser Edition brand new and I regret selling it. That would do about 80 mph, which was about spot on. I also owned a Gilera Runner 180cc two stroke scooter ! I had that thing up to 100 mph down a big hill but those little wheels did put it into a bit of a death wobble at that speed 🤗 These days a 125 is still the sweet spot but the four strokes are a fair bit heavier than the old two strokes and of course deliver their power in a different way, don't smell as good etc. I think that, once I can no longer get my leg over, or indeed, when I am forced to stop motorcycling for mobility reasons😜, my last bike will probably be a nice new 125cc scooter. Easy to ride, practical and still fast enough to have some fun on ! I did have a maxi scooter, a Silver Wing 400 but it's not the same thing. Just too heavy, doesn't feel like a scooter anymore. I think a 125cc modern scooter would be a welcome addition to any fleet. Cheers Jonathan, need to get back to finishing tonight's video, well, actually I need to START editing tonight's video 🤗 ER.
Wow Garry ,we both enjoyed that very much. what a great machine. The sound of that two stroke is fantastic. Did it have two mirrors originally?. Linda wants me to mention how she really likes the Malaguti. Ruby will always be a star also.
Hi John and thanks. The scooter never had a RHS mirror, presumably because some Herbert broke it. Normally it would be present. But a LHS mirror is sufficient in a pinch. It’s a really great tuned but reliable scooter . Whoever tuned it did a great job ! It really is a practical all round „motorcycle“ ! If you can get one it’s definitely highly recommended ! Cheers John 👍 ER
@@economicalrides I agree Garry ,its great . Tomorrow Chris gets his Honda A D V 350 in matt grey the same as mine. He has had it on Customer order since April . As you probably know lots of bikes are in short supply ,Honda and Yamaha included . Our local , Hinckley Royal Enfield dealer seems to have a few in though. I have 4 machines now and could do with less ,but I like them all. best wishes Garry and Ruby .
@@johnbellamy6449 Oh that’s great John, you and Chris will soon be equally equipped and able to go exploring together, I hope. Yes, at the moment it’s no problem to buy a bike from the dealer‘s stock but if you want a specific colour or variant which they have to order then I think you‘d have a bit of a wait on your hands ! I do really like the ADV 350 ! 🤔 But then I enjoy all bikes, so it is easy for me to imagine how you ended up with four of them. I currently have three, including the scooter and excluding the track bike. I think that’s all I‘ll ever have because I only use two of them regularly, i.e. Buddy and the Classic 350. Take care John, looking forward to riding the 350s again sometime next week 👍 Cheers, Garry
Actually I‘ve done it before just for a laugh and my mate refused to ride with me 😂 It’s cool though, it makes you feel very safe at the sort of speeds you end up doing. A bit of a faff to get it on and off though, so I usually go with the teenager standard issue shorts and t-shirt 🤗 Cheers AR 🥃 ER
I would love to have this scooter but in motorbike form. You know, with a petrol tank and proper foot pegs and preferably with a 200 or 250cc engine. I like the idea of cvt and no drive chain. It would be the ideal runaround once fitted with panniers and top box.
Hi CC, yes, I‘m surprised that nobody has tried that yet. A 200-300 cc scooter motor and drivetrain in a motorcycle style chassis, with some panniers, would be a really useful vehicle for all sorts of purposes. That’s a good shout, I‘d be interested in buying one. I suppose the NC750 with DCT comes pretty close but something smaller and lighter would be nice too. Cheers CC 👍 ER
@@shardlake Before that there was the Gilera Runner 180 LC. I had one of those and got it up to an indicated 160 kmh down a long hill. It was still gaining speed but I only just stopped before the t-junction at the end of the hill as it was, rear wheel locked and sliding all over the place ! 🤗 I think one of those would do 160 quite easily with a bit of tuning because mine was absolutely bog standard 🙂 For a while I was trying to find one second hand because I regretted selling mine. I couldn’t find one, I think most of them have been crashed to death by now ! Cheers Shardlake 👍 ER
Nice one, Garry. I did leave a comment on this video 9 months ago but for the classic's speedo but did not watch it back then. My classic is now replaced by new and very economical Sym Symphony 125. As you measure the under seat storage in bottles, my old Kymco grand dink takes 6 bottles from 2 liters Pepsi in the back area and few bags of chips. It is huge thing; Cheers, Garry & Ruby, Stefan
Ah, always liked the Grand Dink - an odd name but it did always seem to be a scooter with decent storage. I had a Silver Wing 400 and that had a ton of space under the seat. Then I was looking at 300cc + scooters for a while, to maybe trade the Honda in for something new. It was then that I realised how rare it is for these modern maxi scooters to come with decent storage. A lot of them had about the same as my Malaguti 50cc but a maxi scooter should always have a decent amount of on bike storage in my opinion. That's the whole point of them being bigger. More comfort, more room for stuff, more practical. Great to hear that the Grand Dink is right up there with the Silver Wing in terms of storage space. I think I WILL get a maxi scooter again at some point, preferably a new one in the 250-300cc range. So practical and so much fun. With the GIVI touring screen on it, the Silver Wing was an awesome twist and go tourer, it would take you anywhere ! Cheers Stefan, Garry & Ruby
@@economicalrides Garry, I was looking at the Silver Wing 400 too but it was too huge to be practical for the city. I had Yamaha Majesty 400 for some time and had decent storage. But the bike got nicked from in front my apartment block. I founded vandalized trashed in nearby small park forest next day. I will send you a pic of my storage space in the grand dink. Kymcos are very practical and economical bikes.. I was thinking about downtown 300, very nice bike.. My grand dink has the huge overhead wind screen that covers the hands too.. Heated grips and in the winter + mittens.. I am able to ride it on -5° with the heat on and 'blanket' for the legs .. BUT .. The bike has crap suspension and crap brakes but I love it anyway.
@@Stefan_trekkie Yes, the Silver Wing was absolutely massive and VERY heavy. I dropped it once and needed the help of a passer by to pick it up again 😂 Even with two of us, it was a struggle ! Kymco are definitely on my radar but I won't be getting a scooter for a while yet. I still need to figure out my actual needs. It sounds like your scooter is just the right bike for what you need it to do though Stefan. Can't argue with that, it gets the job done 👍🏻 Stay safe ! Garry
Oh yes ! It has a definite grin factor and even though I never had a scooter as a youth, every time I go out on the Malaguti I feel like a teenager again 😛 It would suck if the vario limiter hadn’t mysteriously fallen out but at 80+ kmh hijinks can definitely be had 😛 Cheers Frank 🥃 ER
Very good, although it was 88mph in the film, still made me laugh though :) Wonder what the locals thought when they saw you in full race suit on a 50cc scoot 😅 Ruby did not look impressed until the sausages came out...
Well done Shardlake, you got the movie reference, here’s your prize 🥇 Yes, I know it was mph in the film but even down the steepest hill the Malaguti won’t hit 88 mph. If BTTF had been filmed in Spain, I‘m pretty sure that 88 kmh would have been the required velocity. It certainly works with the Malaguti 😂 I didn’t really pay attention to other people‘s reactions, I was too busy filming and commentating. I imagine that there was some shaking of heads ! Ruby thinks I‘m mad making all of these motorcycle based videos when all anybody really wants to see is Ruby eating sossidges 😂 The sossidges always manage to get me back into her good books though !

😂😂😂 Hallo Gerry, super Review. Hatte ich wohl versäumt als es online ging. Einen Roller habe ich auch noch, den nutze ich für kurze strecken damit das Auto stehen bleiben kann. Ich habe eine Vespa ET4 125ccm, das Teil macht auch Laune. Gruß Stephan
Hi Stephan, schön dass Du das Video jetzt gefunden hast ! Ja, ich denke mein letztes Zweirad im Leben wird ein Roller sein. Wenn ich meine Beine nicht mehr hoch heben kann usw. könnte ich immer noch Motorradgefühle auf einem Step-thru Roller geniessen. Ausserdem, wie Du sagst, sind sie extrem praktisch. Als alter Sack bräuchte ich eventuell gar kein Auto mehr, ich könnte täglich einen Kleineinkauf mit dem Roller machen. Roller sind einfach genial. Spaßig, extrem praktisch und extrem günstig zu fahren. Ich denke 125 cc ist die optimale Größe für einen Roller und ich will auch mal den 50er gegen einen 125er tauschen. Ein 125er ist schnell wie ein Auto ( im Verkehr kein Hindernis ) aber noch nicht unangenehm schwer, macht fast so viel Spaß in den Kurven wie ein 50er. Sobald man viel größer geht, werden die Dinger zu schwer und dann ist der Spaßfaktor erheblich reduziert. Ein 125er ist schnell genug aber auch leicht genug dass es sich immer noch wie ein kleiner Roller anfühlt. 👍🏻 Cool. Ja, ich brauche auch bald einen neuen Roller, würde mir echt Spaß machen. Vielleicht mache ich das auch 🤔 Cheers Stephan, Garry
😆 Great video very funny, think the race suit may have added 5 kph, in aerodynamics. They are great fun and easy to ride I have a lexmoto aura, I got off my daughter who got it in the summer but stopped when the cold weather started. So I've got the scooter and the payments, but it's worth it for the fun factor 😁
Hi Gary, thanks, glad you enjoyed it 🤗 Actually I think the race suit probably slowed me down, it was like another 5 kilos or so on the bike and as we know, adding lightness is the key to optimum performance 🤪 It was fun though, I probably got some strange looks but I didn't notice because I was having too much fun. Also, having the safety gear on made me ride in an even more reckless manner, which only added to the fun 👹 I think I'll stick with the Mediterranean standard issue shorts and t-shirt in future though, getting the suit on and off is such a faff. I'll just have to ride with a bit more safety margin 👍🏻🤔 Scooters are brilliant, so much fun, so practical and so cheap to run. Your 125 sounds about right. Fast enough to have fun with and not be a mobile chicane but not so big that it ceases to be fun. I had a Silver Wing 400 which I traded in when I bought the Meteor. That was a great mode of transport but it never felt like a scooter. It was so big and heavy, it never made me grin like a lightweight scooter always does. A great bike for commuting or even touring though, I really grew to love it, just too heavy to ever really feel like a scooter. Scooters rule ! Keep 'em pinned ! Cheers Gary, enjoy yours 👍🏻 ER
@@garycunningham268 Thanks Gary ! Really enjoying having the channel with so many great viewers, so no danger of me stopping now 😛 I really appreciate each and every viewer, so thank you ! Cheers, ER
The Stig is back 😂 Like I use to say anybody needs a scooter - they can do all your transport in a 50-100km circle and replace your 2nd car with ease or maybe your car completely like I did with a Honda PCX 125. What’s the fuel consumption of this pocket rocket? My PCX takes 1.9-2.3l/100km
😂😂😂 To be honest I‘ve never measured the fuel economy because I use it infrequently. I only know that I probably fill it up 2-3 times a year for peanuts each time. They are super practical though, little scooters. I use mine for short trips to the local shops or post office. And sometimes I just take it out for a blast whenever I want to feel 16 again 😛 I do enjoy riding everywhere with the throttle pinned, it’s just so much fun 🥰 Cheers SexyDragonslayer 😉 ER
Hi William, no, bizarrely you can’t. As soon as you hit ‚Navigate‘ it wants to connect to a Tripper pod and if there isn’t one in range, you get an error message and can’t continue. So on the scooter I would have to use Google maps in a phone holder unfortunately. I don’t ever need navigation on the scooter but as you say, in a city it could be useful 👍 Trouble is, I can’t reach any cities without using a motorway and my scooter isn’t allowed on the motorway even though it is quite clearly fast as f@ck 😂😂😂 Actually, I might be able to get to Almeria sans motorway, it will be tricky but there might be a way. That would make a cool video but it would be a long day of n the saddle 🤔 Cheers William 🥃 ER

Hi GrY 666, funnily enough, my F12 arrived with one mirror missing and I did try to find the other one somewhere on the internet but probably like you, I found that there were so many different looking mirrors, all allegedly for a Phantom F12 and none of them looked like the one on my bike ! So I understand the problem. In the end I just gave up because at least I have the most important mirror already on the bike. Good luck with the search but I can't help you at the moment unfortunately, been there and failed !! 👍🏻 Cheers, ER EDITED TO ADD : I would imagine a lot of mirrors will fit, if you're not obsessive about having the right one. But I did want a matching pair and struggled to find another original mirror anywhere on the internet.
@@economicalrides hello brother, thank you for your reply. I will keep searching for one that looks like this. My "problem" is that all of them mirrors look like they are made for a scooter, and yes, i know, im looking for a scooter mirror that is why they are like this. The one on your phantom looks bulky, and more like a car's rearview mirror. I want to find something similar, and if i by any chance find the right exact mirror (the one on your bike), i will be sure to notify you.😄
@@economicalrides Hello again bro! i've managed to find the exact same models as the ones on your bike. There are some selling around 40€ on ebay, from italy. Theese are the phantoms' factory rearview mirror. I'm pretty sure you can find a pair for your bike too. Just need to search up "malaguti phantom specchietto" (specchietto i guess means rearview mirror in italian). Also, thank you again for the help. And good luck.
Dress for the slide, not the ride Peter 😂😂😂 Although I must admit, normally I go with the teenager standard t-shirt and shorts when I take the scooter out. It’s one of its main advantages really, you don’t have to spend ten minutes getting changed before going for a ride ( although you probably should ! ). The scooter just unleashes my inner teenager 🤗 Cheers Peter 🥃 ER

Hi Paddy, yep. I still have it and it's still going strong. Best 600 EUR I ever spent this was. So reliable, cheap to run, will do 50 mph all day. Can leave it stood on the battery tender for months and when I go to ride it, it always starts on the button and needs nothing doing to it. Practical, economical and fun. Once the summer finally arrives I look forward to hooning about on it once again ! I'll probably leave the racing leathers at home though 😝 Cheers Paddy, ER.
@@economicalrides gota love Peds I love mine aswell got a Yamaha Aerox fully tuned, I believe the maliguti respond very well to tuning aswell, surprising what these small engines are capable of, your scooter is stunning
@@pk93cov Hi Paddy. Yes, the Aerox is a tuner's dream, was always the one to go for amongst the youngsters I used to work with ! No doubt I could tune the Malaguti to do 65 mph, possibly 70 mph but the thing is, the current setup is 100% reliable. Since I've had it ( 10 years ? ), I've not even ever had to take the spark plug out ! The thing just starts easily, zings along at 50 mph all day, water temps are in the middle at that speed, or on a hot 40+C summer's day maybe at 70% and it just works. When I first bought it, I did think that I would tune the backside off it and see it as a bit of a challenge. But in the end, I decided to leave it as the previous owner had left it and I must admit that I'd rather have the 100% reliability over another 10-20 mph ( at this point in my life. At 16 of course I would have seen that differently ! 😂 ). I have a lot of love for scooters of all sizes and I'm pretty sure that when I can no longer ride motorbikes, I will at least have something like a 125cc scoot to keep me mobile and on two wheels ! Cheers Paddy, enjoy your Aerox. I'm looking forward to dusting off the Malaguti and donning my safety flip-flops, whenever summer finally arrives ! Garry
😂😂🙂 No, don’t worry, the Meteor still makes sense ! But a Malaguti 50 LC or something similar is still a very nice option if you need something for local errands. A.Malaguti Phantom LC with panniers could do a similar job though, but I just love two strokes 🥰 Cheers Bob 👍 ER
Hi Ahlon, hier „dürfen“ die auch nur 45kmh aber ich kann doch nichts dafür wenn der Begrenzer „rausgefallen“ ist 😚 Die Werkstatt baut mir immer einen ein wenn er durch den TÜV muss aber ich besitze tatsächlich keinen, habe ich so gekauft ! Aber ich kenne das mit den Kontrollen bei euch. Die Polizei wartet mit Prüfstand vor den Roller Treffs und so. Habe ich damals in DE erlebt. Dort würde ich auch nicht riskieren ohne Begrenzer zu fahren aber bei uns in der Pampa interessiert es wirklich keinen wie schnell dein Roller ist. Es ist einfach ein spaßiges, sehr nützliches Teil und es kostet so gut wie nichts in der Unterhalt. Ich habe ein paar mal ans verkaufen gedacht aber er kostet so wenig, dass verkaufen wenig bringen würde, nur dass ich ihn oft vermissen würde ! Ein Roller ist eigentlich immer empfehlenswert und reduziert erheblich die Fahrten die man mit dem Auto macht. Cheers Ahlon 🥃 ER

In den frühen 90ern hatte ich einen Freund der zurück nach Deutschland kam und vorher mit seinen Eltern in Spanien gelebt hat.

Such fun on the scooter. Very impressive for a 50 cc. I think I might have to invest in one but a larger engine. There are next to no people or traffic in your videos !
Don't forget their practicality in a beer emergency Jonathan !!! 😂
It's a shame they no longer make 125 two stroke scooters, I think that is the sweet spot for scooter hijinks. I once bought an Aprilia SR 125 Troy Corser Edition brand new and I regret selling it. That would do about 80 mph, which was about spot on.
I also owned a Gilera Runner 180cc two stroke scooter ! I had that thing up to 100 mph down a big hill but those little wheels did put it into a bit of a death wobble at that speed 🤗
These days a 125 is still the sweet spot but the four strokes are a fair bit heavier than the old two strokes and of course deliver their power in a different way, don't smell as good etc.
I think that, once I can no longer get my leg over, or indeed, when I am forced to stop motorcycling for mobility reasons😜, my last bike will probably be a nice new 125cc scooter.
Easy to ride, practical and still fast enough to have some fun on ! I did have a maxi scooter, a Silver Wing 400 but it's not the same thing. Just too heavy, doesn't feel like a scooter anymore. I think a 125cc modern scooter would be a welcome addition to any fleet.
Cheers Jonathan, need to get back to finishing tonight's video, well, actually I need to START editing tonight's video 🤗

Wow Garry ,we both enjoyed that very much. what a great machine. The sound of that two stroke is fantastic. Did it have two mirrors originally?. Linda wants me to mention how she really likes the Malaguti. Ruby will always be a star also.
Hi John and thanks.
The scooter never had a RHS mirror, presumably because some Herbert broke it. Normally it would be present. But a LHS mirror is sufficient in a pinch.
It’s a really great tuned but reliable scooter . Whoever tuned it did a great job !
It really is a practical all round „motorcycle“ !
If you can get one it’s definitely highly recommended !
Cheers John 👍

@@economicalrides I agree Garry ,its great . Tomorrow Chris gets his Honda A D V 350 in matt grey the same as mine. He has had it on Customer order since April . As you probably know lots of bikes are in short supply ,Honda and Yamaha included . Our local , Hinckley Royal Enfield dealer seems to have a few in though. I have 4 machines now and could do with less ,but I like them all. best wishes Garry and Ruby .
@@johnbellamy6449 Oh that’s great John, you and Chris will soon be equally equipped and able to go exploring together, I hope.
Yes, at the moment it’s no problem to buy a bike from the dealer‘s stock but if you want a specific colour or variant which they have to order then I think you‘d have a bit of a wait on your hands !
I do really like the ADV 350 ! 🤔
But then I enjoy all bikes, so it is easy for me to imagine how you ended up with four of them. I currently have three, including the scooter and excluding the track bike. I think that’s all I‘ll ever have because I only use two of them regularly, i.e. Buddy and the Classic 350.
Take care John, looking forward to riding the 350s again sometime next week 👍
Cheers,
Garry
Evening ER that’s fantastic didn’t think you would ride in your race suit 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
Actually I‘ve done it before just for a laugh and my mate refused to ride with me 😂
It’s cool though, it makes you feel very safe at the sort of speeds you end up doing. A bit of a faff to get it on and off though, so I usually go with the teenager standard issue shorts and t-shirt 🤗

Hi ER🤠Lots of fun in this video😂😂Ghost Rider😂👍K.E.B.
Thanks K.E.B 🤗
I would love to have this scooter but in motorbike form. You know, with a petrol tank and proper foot pegs and preferably with a 200 or 250cc engine. I like the idea of cvt and no drive chain. It would be the ideal runaround once fitted with panniers and top box.
Hi CC,
yes, I‘m surprised that nobody has tried that yet. A 200-300 cc scooter motor and drivetrain in a motorcycle style chassis, with some panniers, would be a really useful vehicle for all sorts of purposes. That’s a good shout, I‘d be interested in buying one.
I suppose the NC750 with DCT comes pretty close but something smaller and lighter would be nice too.
Cheers CC 👍

Gilera did the 180cc DNA, nearest I can think of, friend had one.
@@shardlake Before that there was the Gilera Runner 180 LC. I had one of those and got it up to an indicated 160 kmh down a long hill. It was still gaining speed but I only just stopped before the t-junction at the end of the hill as it was, rear wheel locked and sliding all over the place ! 🤗
I think one of those would do 160 quite easily with a bit of tuning because mine was absolutely bog standard 🙂
For a while I was trying to find one second hand because I regretted selling mine. I couldn’t find one, I think most of them have been crashed to death by now !

Nice one, Garry. I did leave a comment on this video 9 months ago but for the classic's speedo but did not watch it back then. My classic is now replaced by new and very economical Sym Symphony 125. As you measure the under seat storage in bottles, my old Kymco grand dink takes 6 bottles from 2 liters Pepsi in the back area and few bags of chips. It is huge thing;
Cheers, Garry & Ruby,
Stefan
Ah, always liked the Grand Dink - an odd name but it did always seem to be a scooter with decent storage.
I had a Silver Wing 400 and that had a ton of space under the seat.
Then I was looking at 300cc + scooters for a while, to maybe trade the Honda in for something new.
It was then that I realised how rare it is for these modern maxi scooters to come with decent storage.
A lot of them had about the same as my Malaguti 50cc but a maxi scooter should always have a decent amount of on bike storage in my opinion. That's the whole point of them being bigger. More comfort, more room for stuff, more practical. Great to hear that the Grand Dink is right up there with the Silver Wing in terms of storage space. I think I WILL get a maxi scooter again at some point, preferably a new one in the 250-300cc range. So practical and so much fun. With the GIVI touring screen on it, the Silver Wing was an awesome twist and go tourer, it would take you anywhere !
Cheers Stefan,
Garry & Ruby
@@economicalrides Garry, I was looking at the Silver Wing 400 too but it was too huge to be practical for the city. I had Yamaha Majesty 400 for some time and had decent storage. But the bike got nicked from in front my apartment block. I founded vandalized trashed in nearby small park forest next day. I will send you a pic of my storage space in the grand dink. Kymcos are very practical and economical bikes.. I was thinking about downtown 300, very nice bike..
My grand dink has the huge overhead wind screen that covers the hands too.. Heated grips and in the winter + mittens.. I am able to ride it on -5° with the heat on and 'blanket' for the legs .. BUT .. The bike has crap suspension and crap brakes but I love it anyway.
@@Stefan_trekkie Yes, the Silver Wing was absolutely massive and VERY heavy. I dropped it once and needed the help of a passer by to pick it up again 😂 Even with two of us, it was a struggle !
Kymco are definitely on my radar but I won't be getting a scooter for a while yet. I still need to figure out my actual needs.
It sounds like your scooter is just the right bike for what you need it to do though Stefan. Can't argue with that, it gets the job done 👍🏻
Stay safe !
Garry
I can just imagine throttle pinned all the way to the top of the road on that run up to the coop!
Oh yes ! It has a definite grin factor and even though I never had a scooter as a youth, every time I go out on the Malaguti I feel like a teenager again 😛
It would suck if the vario limiter hadn’t mysteriously fallen out but at 80+ kmh hijinks can definitely be had 😛
Cheers Frank 🥃
ER
Very good, although it was 88mph in the film, still made me laugh though :) Wonder what the locals thought when they saw you in full race suit on a 50cc scoot 😅
Ruby did not look impressed until the sausages came out...
Well done Shardlake, you got the movie reference, here’s your prize 🥇
Yes, I know it was mph in the film but even down the steepest hill the Malaguti won’t hit 88 mph. If BTTF had been filmed in Spain, I‘m pretty sure that 88 kmh would have been the required velocity. It certainly works with the Malaguti 😂
I didn’t really pay attention to other people‘s reactions, I was too busy filming and commentating. I imagine that there was some shaking of heads !
Ruby thinks I‘m mad making all of these motorcycle based videos when all anybody really wants to see is Ruby eating sossidges 😂
The sossidges always manage to get me back into her good books though !

Hallo Gerry, super Review. Hatte ich wohl versäumt als es online ging.
Einen Roller habe ich auch noch, den nutze ich für kurze strecken damit das Auto stehen bleiben kann.
Ich habe eine Vespa ET4 125ccm, das Teil macht auch Laune.
Gruß Stephan
Hi Stephan,
schön dass Du das Video jetzt gefunden hast !
Ja, ich denke mein letztes Zweirad im Leben wird ein Roller sein. Wenn ich meine Beine nicht mehr hoch heben kann usw. könnte ich immer noch Motorradgefühle auf einem Step-thru Roller geniessen. Ausserdem, wie Du sagst, sind sie extrem praktisch. Als alter Sack bräuchte ich eventuell gar kein Auto mehr, ich könnte täglich einen Kleineinkauf mit dem Roller machen.
Roller sind einfach genial. Spaßig, extrem praktisch und extrem günstig zu fahren.
Ich denke 125 cc ist die optimale Größe für einen Roller und ich will auch mal den 50er gegen einen 125er tauschen. Ein 125er ist schnell wie ein Auto ( im Verkehr kein Hindernis ) aber noch nicht unangenehm schwer, macht fast so viel Spaß in den Kurven wie ein 50er. Sobald man viel größer geht, werden die Dinger zu schwer und dann ist der Spaßfaktor erheblich reduziert. Ein 125er ist schnell genug aber auch leicht genug dass es sich immer noch wie ein kleiner Roller anfühlt. 👍🏻
Cool. Ja, ich brauche auch bald einen neuen Roller, würde mir echt Spaß machen. Vielleicht mache ich das auch 🤔
Cheers Stephan,
Garry
😆 Great video very funny, think the race suit may have added 5 kph, in aerodynamics. They are great fun and easy to ride I have a lexmoto aura, I got off my daughter who got it in the summer but stopped when the cold weather started. So I've got the scooter and the payments, but it's worth it for the fun factor 😁
Hi Gary,
thanks, glad you enjoyed it 🤗
Actually I think the race suit probably slowed me down, it was like another 5 kilos or so on the bike and as we know, adding lightness is the key to optimum performance 🤪 It was fun though, I probably got some strange looks but I didn't notice because I was having too much fun. Also, having the safety gear on made me ride in an even more reckless manner, which only added to the fun 👹 I think I'll stick with the Mediterranean standard issue shorts and t-shirt in future though, getting the suit on and off is such a faff. I'll just have to ride with a bit more safety margin 👍🏻🤔
Scooters are brilliant, so much fun, so practical and so cheap to run. Your 125 sounds about right. Fast enough to have fun with and not be a mobile chicane but not so big that it ceases to be fun. I had a Silver Wing 400 which I traded in when I bought the Meteor. That was a great mode of transport but it never felt like a scooter. It was so big and heavy, it never made me grin like a lightweight scooter always does. A great bike for commuting or even touring though, I really grew to love it, just too heavy to ever really feel like a scooter.
Scooters rule ! Keep 'em pinned !
Cheers Gary, enjoy yours 👍🏻

The Stig is back 😂
Like I use to say anybody needs a scooter - they can do all your transport in a 50-100km circle and replace your 2nd car with ease or maybe your car completely like I did with a Honda PCX 125.
What’s the fuel consumption of this pocket rocket?
My PCX takes 1.9-2.3l/100km
😂😂😂
To be honest I‘ve never measured the fuel economy because I use it infrequently. I only know that I probably fill it up 2-3 times a year for peanuts each time.
They are super practical though, little scooters. I use mine for short trips to the local shops or post office. And sometimes I just take it out for a blast whenever I want to feel 16 again 😛
I do enjoy riding everywhere with the throttle pinned, it’s just so much fun 🥰
Cheers SexyDragonslayer 😉

The scooter is perfect for a city 😀 by the way. are you able to use the RE app without the bike ?
Ps: never knew you where a true Rebel on a 50cc 😛
Hi William,
no, bizarrely you can’t.
As soon as you hit ‚Navigate‘ it wants to connect to a Tripper pod and if there isn’t one in range, you get an error message and can’t continue.
So on the scooter I would have to use Google maps in a phone holder unfortunately. I don’t ever need navigation on the scooter but as you say, in a city it could be useful 👍
Trouble is, I can’t reach any cities without using a motorway and my scooter isn’t allowed on the motorway even though it is quite clearly fast as f@ck 😂😂😂
Actually, I might be able to get to Almeria sans motorway, it will be tricky but there might be a way. That would make a cool video but it would be a long day of n the saddle 🤔
Cheers William 🥃

anybody knows what mirror is on that f12? help is much appreciated
Hi GrY 666,
funnily enough, my F12 arrived with one mirror missing and I did try to find the other one somewhere on the internet but probably like you, I found that there were so many different looking mirrors, all allegedly for a Phantom F12 and none of them looked like the one on my bike ! So I understand the problem. In the end I just gave up because at least I have the most important mirror already on the bike.
Good luck with the search but I can't help you at the moment unfortunately, been there and failed !! 👍🏻
Cheers,
ER
EDITED TO ADD :
I would imagine a lot of mirrors will fit, if you're not obsessive about having the right one. But I did want a matching pair and struggled to find another original mirror anywhere on the internet.
@@economicalrides hello brother, thank you for your reply. I will keep searching for one that looks like this.
My "problem" is that all of them mirrors look like they are made for a scooter, and yes, i know, im looking for a scooter mirror that is why they are like this.
The one on your phantom looks bulky, and more like a car's rearview mirror. I want to find something similar, and if i by any chance find the right exact mirror (the one on your bike), i will be sure to notify you.😄
@@economicalrides Hello again bro! i've managed to find the exact same models as the ones on your bike. There are some selling around 40€ on ebay, from italy. Theese are the phantoms' factory rearview mirror.
I'm pretty sure you can find a pair for your bike too. Just need to search up "malaguti phantom specchietto" (specchietto i guess means rearview mirror in italian).
Also, thank you again for the help. And good luck.

Dress for the slide, not the ride Peter 😂😂😂
Although I must admit, normally I go with the teenager standard t-shirt and shorts when I take the scooter out. It’s one of its main advantages really, you don’t have to spend ten minutes getting changed before going for a ride ( although you probably should ! ).
The scooter just unleashes my inner teenager 🤗

Quality peds the maligutis
Hi Paddy,
yep. I still have it and it's still going strong. Best 600 EUR I ever spent this was. So reliable, cheap to run, will do 50 mph all day. Can leave it stood on the battery tender for months and when I go to ride it, it always starts on the button and needs nothing doing to it. Practical, economical and fun. Once the summer finally arrives I look forward to hooning about on it once again ! I'll probably leave the racing leathers at home though 😝
Cheers Paddy,
ER.
@@economicalrides gota love Peds I love mine aswell got a Yamaha Aerox fully tuned, I believe the maliguti respond very well to tuning aswell, surprising what these small engines are capable of, your scooter is stunning
@@pk93cov Hi Paddy. Yes, the Aerox is a tuner's dream, was always the one to go for amongst the youngsters I used to work with ! No doubt I could tune the Malaguti to do 65 mph, possibly 70 mph but the thing is, the current setup is 100% reliable. Since I've had it ( 10 years ? ), I've not even ever had to take the spark plug out ! The thing just starts easily, zings along at 50 mph all day, water temps are in the middle at that speed, or on a hot 40+C summer's day maybe at 70% and it just works. When I first bought it, I did think that I would tune the backside off it and see it as a bit of a challenge. But in the end, I decided to leave it as the previous owner had left it and I must admit that I'd rather have the 100% reliability over another 10-20 mph ( at this point in my life. At 16 of course I would have seen that differently ! 😂 ).
I have a lot of love for scooters of all sizes and I'm pretty sure that when I can no longer ride motorbikes, I will at least have something like a 125cc scoot to keep me mobile and on two wheels !
Cheers Paddy, enjoy your Aerox. I'm looking forward to dusting off the Malaguti and donning my safety flip-flops, whenever summer finally arrives !

Guess I will have to trade in the Meteor😢😊

No, don’t worry, the Meteor still makes sense ! But a Malaguti 50 LC or something similar is still a very nice option if you need something for local errands.
A.Malaguti Phantom LC with panniers could do a similar job though, but I just love two strokes 🥰

Das Teil geht ja ab wie eine Rakete. In Deutschland dürfen 50er nur noch lahme 45kmh fahren. Das ist echt schade.
Hi Ahlon,
hier „dürfen“ die auch nur 45kmh aber ich kann doch nichts dafür wenn der Begrenzer „rausgefallen“ ist 😚
Die Werkstatt baut mir immer einen ein wenn er durch den TÜV muss aber ich besitze tatsächlich keinen, habe ich so gekauft !
Aber ich kenne das mit den Kontrollen bei euch. Die Polizei wartet mit Prüfstand vor den Roller Treffs und so. Habe ich damals in DE erlebt. Dort würde ich auch nicht riskieren ohne Begrenzer zu fahren aber bei uns in der Pampa interessiert es wirklich keinen wie schnell dein Roller ist.
Es ist einfach ein spaßiges, sehr nützliches Teil und es kostet so gut wie nichts in der Unterhalt. Ich habe ein paar mal ans verkaufen gedacht aber er kostet so wenig, dass verkaufen wenig bringen würde, nur dass ich ihn oft vermissen würde !
Ein Roller ist eigentlich immer empfehlenswert und reduziert erheblich die Fahrten die man mit dem Auto macht.
Cheers Ahlon 🥃

In den frühen 90ern hatte ich einen Freund der zurück nach Deutschland kam und vorher mit seinen Eltern in Spanien gelebt hat.
