Performance Test - Zontes 350E

[@1zanglang]

Today I had the opportunity to meet Alex. Great guy, and a great team there, at Sym Romania. Also, I saw Fred and Donnie. And of course, I ordered an Symphony ST. now I have to find a name for it. Congrats Alex for your Fred! Hope you would have tons of great time riding him.

[@RideWithAlex]

Really awesome meeting you and hope you enjoy the 2 wheeled lifestyle and remember it's never too late to get your A class license. After some time on the symphony if you feel you want more and you want to explore more get your A license and get on something with 3-400cc 😁😁😁

[@1zanglang]

@@RideWithAlex If the things would go well, in august I am scheduled (read postponed) to sustain A license exam. Until now, it didn't do well nor me, neither the instructor and the motorcycles the school uses. These motorcycles should have been scrapped years ago. But with more ambition I hope I would succeed. PS: Those 300 and 400 ADX, and the Maxsym 400, look so good to me...😂

[@RideWithAlex]

@@1zanglang I think the adx 300 is the one to look out for, I think it's going to be really nice 😁

[@1zanglang]

@@RideWithAlex Can't wait to see it in the showroom.

Symphony Is A Good Choice For A Beginner , I Think !!

[@morkovetz]

I am honestly happy for you! It`s great to hear that the deal has gone thru! Welcome to the channel FRED! Great times coming! What a awesome choice you have done! Congrats!

[@RideWithAlex]

Thank you, now I need to start planing we need to put some km on Fred's odometer and start writing his story with me 😁

[@ygeia_trws]

« Under 10 seconds 0-100 I am satisfied » that’s why we love you Alex and we follow your experiences!

[@RideWithAlex]

It really is enough for me, sure I like to experience some stupid speed every now and then but for 99.9% of the time this is more then enough.

[@Scape974]

@@RideWithAlex this video and the one you did before convinced me to buy a 350E when i get my A2 license, i just need something to cruise and this scoot fit perfectly ! I actually have a Longjia XDV 125, it's decent, it looks nice, but i don't really like the 300cc upgrade, so Zontes we go !

[@nicholaskalogris9985]

Your videos contain good information. I appreciate your posts!

[@RideWithAlex]

Thank you! 😁

[@MarkDeclercq]

Hi Alex, just popped into a Zontes dealer here in BKK (Bangkok), and saw your "Fred" new edition 2025. They truely look amazing. There was even on Forza350 , 2025 parked next to it. (Lucky that Honda updated their dash too, or it would look sad against that new 350E. If i could post a picture here😔. Unfortunately the 368G was expected shortly, but did not arrive. What an amazing scooter. Wel, i hope to catch more video rides/tests from you soon. 🙏👍😉.

[@MarkDeclercq]

Cant manage to attach a picture yet 🤪

Yesterday i finished Donnie's trip to Armenia and back. Cannot tell you how much I enjoyed that series. Cannot wait to see where you take Fred I think you should take Fred around Turkey a lot of Turkey maybe all the coast lines black sea, Mediterranean, Aegean and Marmara. I think would be a fun trip

[@RideWithAlex]

I have so many trips in my head just need the time and the budget, still working a full time job and paying a mortgage unfortunately 😂

Congratulations Alex. I bought the QJ FORT 350 last November. No need to expand on what it has as I am sure you already know. I will say THIS: it is PURRRRRFECT! They gave me a free Falcon black top box! Enjoy in good health!

[@RideWithAlex]

Awesome, enjoy it 😁.

[@alexandrosmpoumparhs]

Thank you! My next purchase, as a second bike, the SRK 125 because I want to get back into practice with the clutch.

Go for a Zontes 350E 👍🏻🇹🇷

[@bullanguero82]

Man, I'm so happy you got it. I really am craving for long scooter trips, that I can to try and replicate in my Cruisym 300i. Congrats!!

Thank you, and hopefully you get to do some trips 😁

Great Job Alex, I always watch your videos at once. You are about to convince me to quit my Triumph Tiger 800 for Zontes 350E as my only bike. Greeting from Piraeus, Greece

[@RideWithAlex]

Go for a test ride and see if it wins you over 😁

[@alonstech7999]

awesome video, buying this as my first scooter tomorrow at 20 years old :) thanks for the effort! can you mention both cameras you use in the video?

The outside camera was my phone, S23 Ultra, the helmet camera is a Gopro hero 7 black with a la mic for audio and the dash camera is an Insta360 Go2

[@ovidiu-gabrielserban4992]

And under 4/100km in A busy city. Could be less if u try but that's no fun. The 310m might be a bit faster but the 350e feels and sounds like it has more power.

[@gergobozsik1614]

Hello Alex! I'm glad you were able to come to an agreement with your company! You have jumped into an interesting construction, which has both good and bad parts, but it is also very inventive and tricky in your favor! 😀 I see that no one has asked yet, but where does the name Fred come from, can you tell me anything about it? Many happy kilometers with Fred!🙂

hey alex after trying many scooters whats the best market that build the best quality is the kymco or the sym because in my country i have two options with the same price the kymco people s 125 A/C and the sym adx 200 L/C . i hope you answer me and thanks 🙏

[@RideWithAlex]

Sym and Kymco are both from Taiwan and they both are just about at the same level. There's no real metric on how to measure which one is better. They are both good manufacturers. Depends if the scooter fits your needs.

How heavy is it? I wonder if they will be sold in the US? Keep making the videos!

What kind of gear oil you use 5w40 or gl5 sae 80w ?

[@RideWithAlex]

Gl5 85w140, this scooter is going to see a lot of long distance trips so I went with thicker oil, probably going to switch to 80w90 for the winter.

Why theres a black border inside the TFT screen ?

I don't know what black border you are referring too, but the one in the middle is the Rev counter.

Hi Alex, congrats on your new toy. Looking forward on ur new adventures on the bike. Was wondering if you will ever get to try the AK Premium and have a chance to ride distance with it. I'm in Arizona and the AK550 is getting hugely popular here, probably that is b'cuz we can't get the Tmax.

[@RideWithAlex]

Can't say too much for now, but give me 1-2 weeks 😂

[@edwardadelin689]

How many bikes do you have now? Sym, BMW and now Zontes? Wich one do you use the most? How often do you use BMW and why would you use Zontes for roadtrips when you have BMW? (besides scooters being the best touring bikes)

[@RideWithAlex]

Yes I have all 3 now, the bmw is good for trips but after a long trip because it's a big heavy bike it does take a toll on you. If you are just traveling for the sale of fun it's a good bike, but sometimes I travel for work either regular job or this channel and so I need something fast and relaxing to ride so I can cover ground quickly, film what I want, and get back home. Plus the bmw is almost a 28 years old bike with 188.000km is more of a clasic to be enjoyed not a workhorse, I need a workhorse.
