MadAss 125

Post by WhiteNoise »

Sachs. Ever ride one? (Geez, my picture makes it look like a big bike! It really isn't) Kinda makes me think, Grom but probably nowhere near the quality. I said probably because I plainly "dunno nuttin' :geek: but might learn sumptin' now :) If I were a young in' I'd be all over this, just from "the Look" of it!

It'll be very similar quality (or better) than the Honda.

I have one.
Other than the Sachs name, there is nothing good about this bike.
Typical Chinese quality on the hardware.
The ride is horribly stiff, seating position has the rider leaning forward onto the handlebars
, and the engine has so much vibration that what ever isn't numb after 20 minutes in the saddle, has falllen off.

Mines for sale... great bike
Too many scoots..... 12 or so I think .

Same here....the "Old Triumph Dealer" (out of business now)in Chattanooga was a Dealer for these...owned one exactly 8 days.....bought it on Saturday, sold it the following Sunday....Terrible Bike. Great looks, but poor quality all over...."nothing good here" in my opinion. I'll post my "Grom Test Ride" here soon....another "BIG" disappointment. I really hoped to like the Little Grom, but, outside of the Brakes, there is just no reason to own one in my opinion.....A "Nitch Bike" looking for a nitch that doesn't exist. A waste of $3000 if Someone buys one.....Nope, I really didn't like it at all, and I really, really tried to..... 8)

Can you say, "buyer's remorse." Been there, done that ... more than once ... and will quite likely do it again. ;) :oops:

No worries WN, even if you haven't ridden it, it's completely welcome here!

I was looking at one of these for riding around downtown, they're really cool looking and really light. I'm a bit sad to hear all the negative reviews, I'll have to find another bike.

I'm even more sad to hear the Grom wasn't good, skuuter... Please do post your review, the Grom was on my short list of bikes to look out for if I find a deal. :(
Currently ride: Nothing right now - mostly mountain biking with my boys until they're old enough to ride :lol:

The local scooter dealer had one in recently low mileage but it looked like it had been dragged out of the canal
