The 33mm telescopic front fork and dual damper unit swingarm provide a stable and responsive ride, absorbing bumps and imperfections in the road. With a low seat height of 790 mm, this scooter caters to a wide range of riders, making it accessible and easy to handle. Safety is prioritized with a single disc front brake and a reliable drum brake at the rear, ensuring effective stopping power when needed. The electric starter adds an element of convenience, allowing you to start your ride at the push of a button. With a fuel capacity of 7.5 liters, the SH125i is ready for extended journeys without the constant worry of refueling. **

Pros
