Light, willing and well-equipped. One of the most popular A2 automatics in Britain, and an easy bike to recommend to anyone starting out.
Near-faultless at the money.
On the road
Light, willing and genuinely fun to nip about on, the XMAX is one of the easiest bikes to recommend to a new rider. Modest top speed, but more than enough for town and commute.
The automatic bit
Twist-and-go CVT keeps everything effortless, and the equipment — TFT, keyless, adjustable screen — is generous for the price.
Living with it
Frugal, well-finished and hugely popular, with strong used demand. The seat can feel firm over long distances, but otherwise there's very little to criticise.
The verdict
A near-faultless mid-size commuter scooter: light, frugal, nicely finished and genuinely fun to nip about on. Hard to beat at the money.
