Alex, I have watched all your videos for cruisym and TL , unfortunately tl is not in my budget and I went with cruisym, just got it yesterday. Bottom line is that your videos helped me a lot. Cheers!

[@RideWithAlex]

Thank you, hope you enjoy it 😁

[@gibsonchoi]

I love your reviews, thanks!

[@user-xr1kv6yk5c]

Very nice and usefull videos.Again U R THE BEST.Thank you Alex.

[@RideWithAlex]

Thank you, I try to do my best :)

[@johnhancock2758]

I like your review, but even more I like the beautiful choice of landscape🙂

[@RideWithAlex]

Thank you

[@rolfl6317]

Very good infos about the Scooter. Thx. You should also test the Joymax 300. Greetings.

[@Redmenace96]

You are servicing a niche! Great YTer!! Thanks for the honest opinions.

[@RideWithAlex]

Thank you 😁

[@krollpeter]

It is better leaving the right storage compartment unlocked, IMO. If it is locked, then thieves think there is something valuable inside. It is not difficult cracking that plastic, once someone does that the resulting damage might be expensive.

[@RideWithAlex]

That is a valid point :)

[@whynot2734]

Very good review you are my go to guy on scooters. Does the seat come in white?

[@RideWithAlex]

Thank you, unfortunately the seat has only one color, the one in the video.

[@1zanglang]

I would ignore almost all the drawbacks you mentioned, but I find a real big drawback: the non adjustable windscreen. At least a manual, without tools, two position adjustment, would have been awesome.

[@RideWithAlex]

It is a shame it doesn't have a system like the Maxsym 400

[@1zanglang]

@@RideWithAlex Right.

[@reeftok]

I've just bought one in Brazil, is really a nice max scooter, powerful and comfortable, but unfortunately, our version doesn't have traction control and the panel is simplest, it doesn't shows fuel autonomy and average consumption

[@musdz1]

Hi mate Can you please do review about the new jet x 125cc. Many thanks.

[@RideWithAlex]

It's on the list of to do. It is not yet officially out in Romania. I have seen it but I can't film with it yet. For now all I can say is, I was impressed by the design, striking!

[@thebrokendeck]

Thank you very much for your thoughts, it is really a nice piece of scooter. I am thinking about getting the sym joymax z+ 300 which seems quite similar. Hope it has a similar storage space since this is the biggest argument for me for getting a scooter. Sadly there is not much about that model. Your review was excellent though!

[@RideWithAlex]

As soon as we get a joimax in Romania I will do a comparison to highlight the differences between the 2 models, because they are very similar and share the same frame

[@ledzeproberts2111]

I have the maxsym 600i It goes well 😎

[@darkelf1000]

Hey alex. The 3 vertical slits each side on the top plastic. Are the open to the insides of the bike...I thinking the rain will pour in to them.?

[@RideWithAlex]

Never heared of such a problem 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@adrianmeier2553]

Alex have you compared this to the kymco gdink

[@RideWithAlex]

Unfortunately I don't have acces to kymco 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@psycobeast87]

I think that the real defect is the TCS button! It is unbelievable that they leave an empty space to add the button in the other side...

[@wildnfrantic1015]

I've a Sym dealer near me and they have the Z300+ Joymax. Looks great but price is close to a Forza 350 and Xmax so need to see some reviews and how it compares

[@RideWithAlex]

If Yamaha or Honda want to lend me one I would gladly do a video on them :))))

[@ivanmaric4752]

Scooter is awesome! Is it possible to achieve in solo ride at 70kmh on the nice flat road constant trottle consumption of 2 or 2,3 L/100km??

[@RideWithAlex]

I don't think it can get that low but definitely sub 3L/100km

[@ivanmaric4752]

@@RideWithAlex sub...you mean less than 3 L??

[@ivanmaric4752]

@@RideWithAlex my engl is suck :))

[@CristianCarpiuc]

Bună stii cumva cum e cu alimentarea cu benzina la cruisym? Este foarte ciudată

[@RideWithAlex]

Mai la toate scuterele e ciudata, din cauza rezervorului mic. La cruisym important e sa treci gura pompei de aceea usita metalica

[@CristianCarpiuc]

@@RideWithAlex am avut un cruisym acum 1 an si am revenit anul acesta la altul si tot ma chinui cu alimentarea stau cate 10 minute sa fac plinul 🙄

[@RideWithAlex]

@@CristianCarpiuc din păcate nu știu exact care e schema la cruisym, știu la st-ul meu, bag doar vârful la pompa și trag tragaciul doar jumate ca să curgă mai ușor și nu se oprește :))

[@CristianCarpiuc]

@@RideWithAlex mulțumesc am sa incerc sa vad ce pot face 😂👍

[@RideWithAlex]

@@CristianCarpiuc trebuie sa experimentezi sa vezi ce metoda funcționează, sunt rezervoarele mici și imediat sar pompele.

[@mohammadirfan7144]

Bersyukur la pe yang ada

[@smilenbekyarov6682]

this guy knows his stuff especially the feet rests for the passenger behind and the only thing I would add to this important neglect by SYM for the complete beautiful aggressive sporty design for this beautiful boy overall is they could have covered it with the same material and paint as the black material that surrounds it than it will be complete masterpiece but even in this fabric condition is my favorite maxy scooter that by the way I never had nor driven but when I have the chance to afford one even if I win the Lottery I'LL take exactly this model regardless of the year cause I so hate all the famous brands that are so overrated and overpriced their not that impressive and not very seldomly accompanied with factory defects products I say that out of personal experience so that's why from now on SYM is going to be my only two wheeled choice

[@fixakunmu6710]

maybe you've tried kymco x-town 300i / downtown too, compared to cruisym which one has better handling and comfort?

[@RideWithAlex]

Unfortunately kymco is not very well represented in Romania and they don't have any models for test drive, I would have loved to do a comparison between them.

If the cubby hole had a lock on it , it would attract theives who would break lock to get in

[@simontemplarthebest]

An excellent explanation, thank you for that. If I lived in your country, you would be my trusted dealer. 🖕👏

[@RideWithAlex]

Thank you :D

[@lotusds]

Crusym 300 Alpha + parbrizul electric de la Joymax Z+ ar fi scuterul perfect la clasa lui și la prețul lui, în ciuda butonului ăla de TCS... :( Dar merită să-l acceptăm exact așa cum e, pentru tot ce oferă! :))) Oare nu s-ar putea monta un parbriz electric? :P

[@RideWithAlex]

Joymax nu are parbriz electric, Joymax are aceeasi prindere de parbriz ca si Cruisym, doar forma parbrizelor difera putin dar prinderile sunt indentice, poti monda parbriz de joymax pe cruisym si vice versa, dar ambele sunt fixe cu cele 2 pozitii posibile de montare. Ca si adaptare de parbriz electric nu e usor, pentru ca ai nevoie de un mecanism mobil dar care sa stea fix la 120 la ore cand presiunea aerului pe el este foarte mare.

[@lotusds]

@@RideWithAlex Mulțumesc de răspuns, atunci e perfect așa cum e! Apreciez foarte mult review-urile profi pe care le realizezi și toate filmările de riding și călătorii, am învățat mult din ele și mă bucur că m-am abonat la canalul tău, felicitări! Tare mi-aș lua un DRAGO-BT 160 pentru oraș și un Cruisym 300 pentru călătorii...

[@RideWithAlex]

@@lotusds Ar fi o combinatie perfecta, si eu astept un DRG-BT sa il filmez dar se aduc doar pe comanda si momentan nu a comandat nimeni anul acesta :))

[@lotusds]

@@RideWithAlex E clar, fix eu lipseam! :)) Rezolv cât de curând pot! :))

חבל שהוא רק 26 כס חבל שאין דגם חזק יותר

[@panosk7685]

Do you have problem with second passenger in the highway or the travel speed is safe ?

[@RideWithAlex]

Not really, it's ok for 2 up riding

[@fotosony]

Pana la urma cum sunt suspensiile? Confortabile, ca la Honda ADV sau mai tari, ca la X Max?

[@RideWithAlex]

Cam ca X-Max-ul
