The Navi seems like the perfect vehicle for myself. I'm currently in High School, and my commute to work is about 8 minutes for a job that pays $8.50 an hour. With the Navi, I would put $3.79 in once a week and have a pretty low overhead for getting there when accounting for maintenance. The roads on my commute never get above 45, so I'd have no trouble maintaining speed.

It's nice that it comes with a compartment so you can carry a chain all the time. The problem tho is that it exceeds the 50cc limit, which means you need both a car and motorcycle license. From where I live, a car license takes around 100 USD (assuming you don't fail either written or actual driving test) and if you decide to take the MSF, it's another 150 (again, if you don't fail). It's really tough getting into it. You got quite a bit of saving up to do. Good luck, bud. IMHO, it's worth it so far.

"Intimidation and learning factor" of becoming a bike rider. Non-bikers probably don't know how to shift gears or brake with the hand. The average bike now is too heavy to be picked up by one person if it goes down. The Honda C90 had a semiautomatic transmission and weighed less than 200lbs, and it was the best selling vehicle of all time because anyone with four limbs could get on it and safely operate it within seconds, and we need more bikes like this. Conventional wisdom in America since 1975 is that bikes that can't do 70mph on the interstate have no market, because people that want something for cities and towns will just get a moped. Yet we see with the Grom and the flood of 125cc Chinese bikes that there is a huge untapped market in the US that doesn't want a 450-1400cc twin.

Essence of motorcycle. I’m guessing these are the two first Navi’s that came in at Lancaster Honda. I sat on one and observed that yeah, they’re cheap, but they are the perfect tool for basic commuting. Sure, it’s an underbone design with a CVT, but if you take it for what it is: a tool rather than a toy, it works. It won’t win any races or beauty pageants, but at the 1800 price point, it may just get more people on two wheels, which is a good thing. So yeah, btw, if one of the seats smelled slightly of old farts, that would have been me. Not sorry.

I had owned one of these in india( 2016) Well i live in darjeeling, it used to go smoothly ,no hurry,topspeed of 81kmph. And around 8bhp in papers . It was fun filtering through traffic and corners due to a bit stiff rear suspension compared to others scooters,it didn't had a footbrake(it had a left brake lever) and even didnt had a fuel gauge either,still a fun bike/scooter

@xpndblhero51702 жыл бұрын
I love the idea of this, I can see this being a Fantastic starter bike but people are buying 2 and 3 or more at a time then selling them for more so they're hard to get... I'd like a Grom but they're way too expensive for what you get, then you have to do a bunch of mods to make it worth it but these Navis are kind of cool. I'm a huge fan of electric bikes for beginners and I feel like they should make a small cheap bike like a Grom but w/ a high powered electric motor that can be upgraded whenever the rider wants more power... Some of the electric hub motors can be upgraded in multiple ways so I could see an electric Grom/Navi being a great starter bike but also after a few upgrades it could be SUPER fast and awesome for a small stunt bike. Also if you don't want one of those Navis, I'd be willing to buy it off you.... I don't live too far from Silent Hill, I mean Centralia. 😁😂
