Pros and Cons in comparison

Piaggio Medley S 125 ie IGET 2020

The Piaggio Medley 125 S is cleverly positioned in the urban scooter segment. Compared to the direct Japanese competition, it offers more in one respect: storage space under the seat. With a massive 36 litres, the storage compartment can easily hold two full-face helmets - a value we otherwise only knew from large scooters. While driving, it makes a good impression, but if you are in a hurry at the traffic lights, the start-stop system should be deactivated.

Enough power for commuting

low consumption

huge storage space, incl. glove compartment

fresh look

stable handling

uncomplicated: get on and go.

Start-stop system reacts slowly

control units look cheap

Honda PCX 125 2020

The Honda PCX is a typical Honda scooter: quality and workmanship are right, the design looks modern and the compact scooter gets decent acceleration from a standstill from less than 12 hp. Even the most modern technologies are not neglected: the "Idling Stop" system switches off the engine when the scooter is stationary and saves fuel - very little, but the green idea alone is the right step. Only the unharmonious chassis spoils the ride comfort a little, but the luggage compartment comes up trumps again with practical values by swallowing a full-face helmet. The price of just under 3,000 euros in Germany and just over 3,000 euros in Austria is therefore quite acceptable.

futuristic design

agile engine

brisk acceleration

start-stop system

high build quality

low seat height

combined braking system

Inharmonious chassis

little wind protection
