Safety is also a priority, with a single disc brake in the front and a reliable drum brake at the rear, delivering responsive stopping power when needed. With a fuel capacity of 5.80 liters, the g-Buddy not only offers impressive fuel efficiency but also allows for longer rides without frequent refueling, making it a practical choice for the eco-conscious rider. **
