Zontes 125M - Review

After the success of the Zontes 310M they decided to put in a 125cc power train and create the 125M. Very similar to it's bigger brother but somehow quite different.

Always great production. Presentation, comparison, pluses, minuses, overall feeling. Awesome reviews.

[@RideWithAlex]

Thank you, I try my best :D

[@mrzmf]

Mulțumesc pentru cele 3 teste de astăzi, cu Sym și Zontes. Astept cu interes D350

[@RideWithAlex]

Cu mare placere, sper 350D-ul sa il vad undeva spre vară.

[@ygeia_trws]

What a flip to begin with!😂 Also didn't know just about time the new 350 couple of scooters hit Europe, they are presenting us this pearl!👍💕 Beginner friendly also!

[@RideWithAlex]

It is good for a beginner and you do get the feeling of a bigger premium scooter even though it's just a 125. The 350 will have 2 variants the D and the E one of them is the same size as the M and the other one is about 20-25cm longer so should be a bit of a touring model. Hopefully I'll get to see them soon and film them.

[@rolacook222]

Excellent and very fair comparison video in spite of the nearly 200cc difference in displacement & cost between the two scooters? We all got to see for ourselves & feel the differences. Love you comments and thoughts. All the best, Rola (Oregon / USA).

[@RideWithAlex]

Thanks ✌️

[@ericdang6539]

Your videos are great... very knowledgeable...

[@RideWithAlex]

Thank you 😁

Thank you for this video you help me to by the 125 :)

[@waynetaylor4995]

Great video, great information.Has a long time motorcycle rider looking into switching to z scooter for more practical transport.

[@RideWithAlex]

Tbh I own a big bike and a small city scooter and it's the best combination if you want the best of both worlds.

[@alexandrosstefaneskou9655]

Nice review and presentation, but i would like to see a comparison between the Zontes 125M vs Aprilia SR 125GT vs the Dayton ADV 150 in terms of price/quality ride comfort urban and extra-urban, drag race, and fuel efficiency in the real world! Thanks and thumbs up for your work!

[@RideWithAlex]

It's very hard to get them all 3 together unfortunately :(

[@morkovetz]

interesting version of the M series scooter! It would be nice to see a review of the 350cc variant, the M350!

[@RideWithAlex]

When it comes in I'll film it, very interested in it myself!

[@alanhayward6719]

I have a Yamaha nmax 2021, the main reason for the purchase over the Zontes was quite simply, resell value.

[@MotoLoco-S]

Thank you Alex for every review, you are awesome and helpful. If you had to chooses between Zontes m125 and SYM ADX what would you choose? (Adx its not too heavy for 12,3 hp??)

[@RideWithAlex]

The ADX because I like touring

[@morkovetz]

the 125M windshield looks nice, sporty! Do you have it on stock at daytona-romania?

[@RideWithAlex]

No but it should be available for order.

[@rapanalex]

hi, comparing this machine with the SYM ADV 125, what is recommendation without taking into account the price? In terms of power delivery, easy to use in the city consumption and comfort on longer rides .

[@RideWithAlex]

The ADX is better for what you asked.

[@Wizytor]

Where can you buy a spare parts for this scooter? I am talking about engine, mechanical and things like that. There are no parts available in the local dealers nor on the general Zontes site.

[@RideWithAlex]

Normally the importer has to provide all parts and support. Talk to the importer in your country.

[@1zanglang]

Since this video was made, I learned that Zontes sells the scooters with both windshields. At least the 350D, does come with both, but not here in Romania, yet.

[@RideWithAlex]

The 350D will make it's way to Romania.

[@user-fz2fb8vw6s]

Hello, ZONTES 125M/125D, these two bikes are not yet available in mainland China, I am also waiting for this bike, the official said it will be available in May and June, I am also looking forward to it, we are sorry to communicate with a translator.

[@panik4920]

Alex after a few months of the m300 zontes debut, have you opinion about it? Despite the fact that it is fast, is it reliable? What problems have appeared? What is its flaw? I know it's a presentation of 125 but it's an opportunity to find out what happens after so many months of release. Thank you very much

[@RideWithAlex]

Well we have about 15 curently sold and the oldest is just about approaching 1 year old. And I think the highest mileage one is over 10.000km. Curently we haven't had anything to them under warranty. They have been stone cold reliable.

[@panik4920]

Hi Alex congratulations for your video I would like to ask you how is it the seat for a guy 185 m high for zontes m125 ???? We can find it at sym dealer????

[@RideWithAlex]

This weekend you can find it and test ride it. Check out the Motosfera social media (Facebook and Instagram)

Thx

[@fatallerror6059]

Salut , daca ar fi sa alegi intre zontes m125 si sym ADX , calatorit doar pe asfalt si foarte rar off-road , ce ai recomanda , imi place ADX-ul dar pare mai premium Zontes-ul per total ?

[@RideWithAlex]

Dacă vrei călătorii și drum lung Adx-ul e mai bun, din cauza vitezei de croaziera mai mare și rezervorului mare.

[@fatallerror6059]

In Poland you can ride a 125 on "B" licence, if you have it for over 3 years. The list of available 125'es is unlimited here 🙂

@@RideWithAlex did you test the topspeed of the M? How reliable is zontes? Sym is a known and very reliable brand.

[@RideWithAlex]

@@Luci2310 no, I didn't test out the top speed. For now zontes has been very reliable but it's still early to say if they are as bulletproof as Sym. They haven't been out on the market for enough time. The 310m only came out 2 years ago and it was zontes's first scooter 🤷🏻‍♂️

As Chinese people,I have been waiting this scooter so long though zontes is Chinese brand!I need 150cc scooter!But it is not listed in China right now!😭

[@RideWithAlex]

I don't think it will be available there, they made it for certain legislation here in the EU but you can try and ask your local Zontes dealer.

[@Wizytor]

I am 186cm tall. Will it be big enough for me?

[@RideWithAlex]

It should be, but go to a dealer and try for yourself

[@vyacheslavadler9653]

Hello Alex, I’ve got signed for your channel. You are doing awesome reviews. Where are you from? I am from Ukraine and I have Sym 150cc 2 year old, very happy with it. But unfortunately we don’t get high end Sym models here for some reason 😢 I wold like to buy 250+ cc brand new, Zontes looks very nice bike

[@RideWithAlex]

I'm from Romania. But I think you have a Zontes dealer in the Ukraine.

[@PetroLarsson]

It's either this or the sym adx . I'm a Swede with Greek heritage travelling Europe around, I made 18k kms one season on my baotian 125, (RIP). My senses though tells me ADX, thinking back to all the sorrows with anything Chinese made I owned, especially scooters...

[@RideWithAlex]

Especially if you do long trips the adx!

[@PetroLarsson]

Yes Alexandru, I'll think that's the wiser choice. Thank you for your input and for all your great videos, a breath of fresh air! An OT question if you don't mind and a suggestion too... The aircold sym engines on their latest bikes, are they GY6 or GY7? Or something else? You should make a video about the small displacement motors if you have the knowledge on them, many people i think would appreciate that, their stroke seems to be 57.8 like the old good GY6 from what i have found out... Thank you mate

[@RideWithAlex]

@@PetroLarsson I have on my personal ST 200 the 169cc air cooled unit and it has nothing to do with the GY6. Sym never uses outside engines. All their engines are completely in house design and manufactured. That's why it's so difficult tu find aftermarket upgrade parts for Sym.

Καλό σκούτερ από την Ζοντες για 125cc 3595 e το κόστος στην Ελλάδα.. Η τιμή για αυτό που παίρνεις είναι καλή απλά βρίσκεται στο ψυχολογικό όριο του ανταγωνισμού.. Σ αυτά τα λεφτά δυσκολεύονται αρκετοί να το επιλέξουν γιατί ο ανταγωνισμός εχει πολλά άλλα στην κατηγορία του ...θα σου δώσω μια εικόνα το τι συμβαίνει στην χώρα μου ...πρώτο σε πωλήσεις στην κατηγορία των υδρόψυκτων 125cc είναι το Pcx το Medley το Jet X και το Symphony τα δύο πρώτα κοστίζουν το ίδιο με το Zontes τα Sym είναι φθηνότερα ειδικά το Symphony αρκετά πιο φθηνό ...το Nmax είναι πεσμένο στις πωλήσεις γιατί ανέβηκε αρκετά η τιμή του αλλά και δεν είχε διαθεσιμότητα τώρα έχουν διαθεσιμότητα ...Το M125 αλλά και τα Mista δεν έχουν την απήχηση στο αγοραστικό κοινό , χωρίς αυτό να σημαίνει πως δεν είναι καλά σκούτερ ίσα ίσα που έχουν καλή ποιότητα κατασκευής και εξοπλισμό.....Καλή συνέχεια φίλε μου , χαιρετισμούς από Θεσσαλονίκη.

LISTEN MY FRIEND, the video is about the M125 REVIEW, why you keep compering it to the M310 ??? then make the video say COMPARING THE M125 TO THE M310. you are not beeing fair to the M125, YOU CANT MIX APPLES AND PEARS MY FRIEND. This 125 does share some things with thr 310, but you cant bash on the 125 for lacking power and beeing 160kg. its a 125 period, at a good price, it moves well for what it is period.

[@RideWithAlex]

I'm just letting peiple know that you don't have the same sensations of speed and power as on the 300, I'm not bashing on it I keep saying for the money it's excelent value but if you can afford the 300 it's a better buy.

[@FASTU-mz3tm]

@@RideWithAlex BY DOING THIS PEOPLE GET THE WRONG IDEA, IF YOUR GOING TO REVIW THE M125 KEEP THE 310 OUT, BRING IN AN XMAX 125 OR A PCX125, AND COMPARE THEM BUT NOT A 300CC.
