With a variety of color options including black, white, silver, dark red, and yellow, this scooter also allows riders to express their personal style. Under the seat of this capable scooter lies a spirited 107cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a peppy 9 horsepower at 7500 RPM.

The underbone frame provides stability, while the front suspension features a 33mm telescopic fork, ensuring a smooth ride over uneven surfaces. The scooter boasts a combined braking system with a single disc brake in the front and a drum brake in the rear for effective stopping power. Riders will appreciate the electric starter for hassle-free ignition, and the generous 6.5-litre fuel tank means fewer stops at the pump. With a seat height of 760 mm, the Lead EX is accessible to a wide range of riders, making it a versatile option in the scooter segment. ####
Pros
Cons
- Lightweight and Nimble: Weighing only 114 kg, the Lead EX is easy to maneuver, making it ideal for urban environments.
- Efficient Fuel Economy: With a small yet robust engine and a fuel capacity of 6.5 litres, riders can enjoy extended rides without frequent refueling.
- Comfortable Riding Position: The adjustable seat height and well-designed ergonomics ensure comfort for both short trips and longer journeys.
- Limited Power for High-Speed Travel: While great for city riding, the 9 HP engine may struggle on highways or steep inclines, limiting versatility.
- Basic Storage Options: Although practical, the storage space under the seat may not accommodate larger items, which could be a drawback for some riders.
- Drum Rear Brake: The rear drum brake, while adequate for city riding, may not provide the same level of performance as disc brakes, particularly in emergency situations.
