LEXMOTO AURA 125cc | FIRST RIDE

[@bazphoon1]

scooters are underated in this country

[@harveygamble1217]

Did my CBT on a 50cc today and even that felt fast the wind rushing past 😂

[@AlexDjalo]

Keep riding a few days that will change very fast 😂

[@dsldn7701]

@Number 9 means a 50cc will no longer feel fast once you ride it long enough

[@simonb4666]

I see Spicy on a small bike and I immediately click like. It was seeing the fun Spicy had on a 125 that got me into motorcycling in the first place.

[@chrisdavidson911]

5:39 that is absolutely a scooter's party trick! Honda dct is good at it too

[@RevBombUK]

Nice review buddy, I did the original aura video back last year but the new one looks so much better. Cant wait to get our black ones in stock Looking forward to the next part hope all is good with you guys down there

[@steveball2307]

Really share your mindset of enjoying a bike for what it is as opposed to what it's not. Love to see a graph of enjoyment vs engine capacity or power available vs power actually used!

[@mitchellnix5274]

I added a 125 scooter to my garage about 18 months ago and I can only agree with you. Massively convenient to use and huge fun. Unless I'm doing big miles the first set of keys I reach for are those of the scooter. I just love riding it.

[@paulgeraghty4566]

you are bang-on! - i'd say roughly 80-85% of all two wheelers here in the south of France are scooters , ok we get about 300 days of sunshine a year which makes riding enjoyable but scooters are just part of the culture here. Well done for not giving up on 60mph - that could still lose you your licence on many of the roads down here.

[@Alan-ur9jo]

I have a 300cc SYM maxi scooter, which is amazing. But for short trips, I have a NIU electric scooter which you reviewed recently. Brilliant for running errands without getting the bigger bike out of the garage.

[@ladyjjheather]

125s are underrated. Often bigger bikes arnt always necessary. yes if its easier to jump on the motorway to get to your destination you will want a bigger bike as some 125s do struggle with that speed. but if you are happy to set off maybe that bit earlier have fun on the back roads were 125s are more suited then you dont need anything bigger. But i also understand the want for that extra power and to have the knowledge that if you wanted to be abit silly on a quiet road you could be. Obviously not saying you should but we all know people do silly things. Plus 125s are so much cheaper to run they literally sip at the petrol were as a bigger bike doing the same route will need filled up a hell of alot more. But at the end of the day we all ride and we should all ride our own ride and not judge someone else for wanting to or even having to stay on a 125.

[@jonathanoxlade4252]

60mph is the max I mean a car won't go any faster overtaking somone and then get stopped by traffic lights maybe all cars should be limited to 60mph

[@ladyjjheather]

@@jonathanoxlade4252 many cars go faster than 60 to over take. Just like bikes do. Not quite sure why your just talking about cars as my first comment didn't mention them. Maybe im missing something?

[@erikyordanov7707]

I got the same scooter last week I'm very pleased with it tbh

[@JC-Outdoors98]

I have the pervious model and as a newer rider it is really enjoyable to ride!

[@TheSpectre223]

Scooters are great, they offer a riding experience you can't get on anything else and anyone who gives people shit for riding them is probably just an asshole. I'm totally going to have a scooter as a second bike some day.

[@jasonclarke7422]

You have come to the same conclusion as me spicy about the benefits of having a scooter,the only difference is that it has taken me 31 years to figure this out. I look forward to seeing how you get on with this lexmoto over the next couple of weeks.

[@tarquin2trappybro]

2:08 to 2:20 good way for the scooter to break very fast. I ‘abused’ my brand new scooter and I had to sell it for just a few hundred quid the other day after only 7 months because it had some serious problems. You do have to take care of scooters you know….

[@spicy110]

Have you ever owned a large cc bike? Because trust me in comparison they can be abused. The level of abuse is relative, I don't mean don't care for it but they do not need the same level of care.

[@tarquin2trappybro]

@@spicy110 may not need the same level of care but they cannot be abused because it will come back to bite you when it breaks, especially the Chinese scooters which break more easily. So perhaps they’re more tolerant than bigger geared bikes as you said, but shouldn’t be abused to the point you were describing in the video.

[@motodevcam]

I haven't ridden anything smaller the 600 apart from my very first CBT as I went straight on to to DAS. I'd love to have a play on a 125 just for a giggle!

[@Dan-56]

Any motorized version of two wheels that puts a smile on your face has succeeded in fulfilling its design criteria 🛵😉👍.

[@jeffsmithsreggaefunkymusic6458]

I’m thinking about getting one of these for work Thank you sold me 😂

[@spicy110]

Keep in mind this is an older model. 👍

[@jongofett085]

About to get my cbt done, then moving onto big bike lessons 👌 rekon il get a scoot til pass my test and to keep after seems to make sence!!

[@simonj48]

If they could somehow hide the rollers at the back under the fairings, it'd look very sleek. That being said, I do really like the look of this scooter. It looks much better in this video than the pictures they've used on the website.

[@shannonlegerstee4533]

here in the Philippines, our version of this scoot has 175cc.. rfi175..

[@andykmasmith8695]

Bought one of these today picking it up September…new plates

[@damianmarian07]

Entertaining as always! When can we see a review on the new Apollo?

[@eclectarama]

The Russell Brand of motorcycling. Great stuff.

[@spicy110]

In what possible way am I like Russell brand!? Haha 😆

[@eclectarama]

@@spicy110 You have a sharp, erudite turn of phrase with a mild 'twang' that, to my mind, is reminiscent of said national treasure. 😉

[@leecbracing]

Love to see more scooter videos try the Kawasaki j300 my current bike it’s ace

[@vikaschopra-progress9743]

Great video I saw a review on Yamaha tricity 298 cc power to weight which would be quicker on acceleration pulling away... How reliable is the Aura do they breakdown alot?

[@comicbiker3559]

Looks like a comfortable ride, for the small price of scooters I feel like everyone should have one as a backup or just for going to the shops, scooter buddies lol

[@simonj48]

Can you do a review on the Lexmoto Cypher as well. I know it's only a 50cc* Electric, but it's the way forward and a nice introduction for the youngest of riders (and I those who already have a full car licence).

[@lpodd257]

You should get a 50 next time I think you on a 50 would be hilarious😂

[@Mean-bj8wp]

That's pretty poor fuel economy 10 hp I would be expecting north of 130mpg for a scooter. I get better than that from my full powered 125 which I rag around. I would really love to see a spicy review of my bike a Zontes ZT125-U it's the big brand killing "Chinese" 125.

I got a 125cc superdink 2010 up hill go's to 90kmh on flat 110kmh and down hill 118kmh 😜

[@jackpendergast1269]

Is it quick mate decent acceleration or a bit sluggish

[@EpicCamraMan]

Where do you buy one of these? Are they available in the us?

[@spicy110]

No lexmoto is not sold in the states at all.

[@nivelan]

Interesting as I hadn't considered a Lexmoto at all. Doesn't look like one to compete with the 11kW Nmax125, Medley or SH125 though. I need something that can maintain 50+ up an incline lol

[@RawTopShot]

The best thing about that scooter is that you get to give it back in a few weeks. 😁😂😁 Just messing ; I'm sure it's perfectly suited to busy congested city streets and trendy leafy suburbs. As far as scooters go, it's not a bad looker.

[@philhunt9297]

Hope Spicy doesn't mind the question I have a Honda NC750 (just under 14k miles) Sprockets front n rear look OK (very little wear) but chain has about 3 links that are solid (seized/won't flex) I've tried (whilst chain still fitted to bike) paraffin, WD40, GT85, chain lube etc and some "gentle persuasion"....and nothing To replace chain and sprockets (as advised) hits the wallet at near £300 (first dealership quote)....ouch (I haven't got the necessary tools might be able to borrow hopefully) *Question* a) Should I buy a chain splitter and try to soak the chain b) Just replace the chain c} Replace sprockets and chain (as advised) Thanks in advance for any offering advice

[@hazzalandy]

I'd buy a chain splitter and replace just the chain, snapping a chain is no fun

[@spicy110]

Do not ride with stuck links! They are very likely to snap and at speed this can lead to it hitting your foot, smashing an engine casing or cause you to crash. You won't be able to get them unstuck, the chain is done. You must always replace both sprockets and chain at the same time. They wear together, if you put a new chain on old sprockets, it just will not last. however £300 is too much, you can get a chain and sprocket kit for around £80-£100, if you can not do the work yourself then you will be looking at around an hour of labor so £70ish....where they got £300 I have no idea!🙂

[@philhunt9297]

@@spicy110 Thanks Spicy for the response £300 is dealership price (I suspect OEM for parts and spot on for labour charge then VAT. The 3 links seem to travel around the rear sprocket OK (no visible gap) but if you look closely you can identify the slight kink - not sure how they "travel" around front sprocket although the teeth looked in fairly good condition about a month ago. Nobody else has warned about the potential dangers but will get it fixed (replace all) within a couple of weeks... Thanks again

[@captainaverage721]

Sorry mate id bite the bullet and replace both chain and sprockets, you should get a half decent kit for around £100 to £150 and find a small independent shop maybe charge £50 labour to fit them..just read Spicys response there kind of backs up what I said

[@davesmith4413]

nice review mate just a shame some car drivers wont give way to you

[@donky75]

Think every top speed run you do now.you should test with gps,just to see how far out speedometers are

[@spicy110]

I never use GPS as that would just throw out all the comparisons I have made to now. Also I don't really think the standard 10% inaccuracy matters that much on a 10.3hp scooter, if that level matters get a scooter with 15hp.

[@stephenjones5282]

Looking for a cheaper alternative to a Honda PCX is this that?

[@kevindarkstar]

This thing is sold as a few different makes abroad, and don't you think it is a bit weird that it has an analogue speedo and a digital one in the centre? What's the point, also that fuel consumption is poor when you consider that a Honda pcx can get around 130 mph with 12bhp

[@morganmitchell4017]

**130 mph**

[@spicy110]

they mean mpg. 🙂

[@atlaves5162]

Random question, how come I cant seem to be able to find a dealership that sells a the hawk or the original lxr anymore? But on the new euro lxr I can?

[@spicy110]

Because the hawk is discontinued and they can't sell euro 4 bikes anymore.

[@atlaves5162]

@@spicy110 oh something I didn't actually know they changed lol

[@atlaves5162]

AURA!!!!!!!! Yes it is not just a scooter.😀

Or can you recommend a scooter around the same price, thanks in advance 👍

[@puppyloveee-jn6ck]

My hills got give way points half way up so I'd need to pull off going up hill lol I wouldn't want to stop and not gey going again lol

[@BillyWarHigh]

I got my sh125i to 72mph the other day

[@Youssefhawk]

I have this bike but the seat button is stuck and I can't open it, any solution to it?

[@spicy110]

Depends on why it's sticking. I think you will have to take it apart and work down the line. I think it is a cable pull? The cable maybe seized, lubricating it could solve the problem. Use the same methods as lubing a clutch cable.

[@lexmotomotorcycles]

Nope just a slip of the tongue

Did you recommend this scooter for uber eat sir??

I think you mean would I? If so yes it's capable of doing the work, true reliability over time when it is used a lot I can not say. Only long term owners could, I would ask on the lexmoto owners groups on Facebook.
