Its steel tube frame provides durability, while the front and rear drum brakes, paired with a telescopic front suspension and unit swingarm rear suspension, offer stability and comfort on city roads. Additionally, the Zoomer's compact dimensions (1,860 mm in length and 735 mm in width) and a seat height of 735 mm make it accessible for riders of various heights, enhancing its allure as a user-friendly scooter. **
