Introducing the 2016 Keeway Zahara 125, a stylish and practical scooter that perfectly embodies the essence of urban mobility. Designed for both novice riders and seasoned enthusiasts, the Zahara 125 strikes a balance between affordability and performance, making it an ideal choice for navigating city streets or enjoying leisurely rides through scenic routes. With its modern aesthetics and robust build quality, the Zahara captures attention while delivering the reliability and comfort that Keeway is known for. As part of the American and European lineup from Qianjiang, this compact scooter is tailored to meet the demands of both new riders and those looking for a dependable commuter. At the heart of the Zahara 125 lies a peppy single-cylinder, four-stroke engine with a displacement of 124.60 ccm. Producing 8.45 horsepower at 7500 RPM and a torque of 8.30 Nm, this scooter offers impressive acceleration, especially in urban traffic. With a top speed of 90 km/h (55.9 mph), riders can confidently take on the open road without feeling underpowered. The automatic transmission and belt final drive ensure a seamless riding experience, allowing enthusiasts to focus on the journey ahead rather than shifting gears. The air-cooled engine, paired with a 9.5:1 compression ratio, provides an efficient and reliable ride, making it an excellent choice for daily commuting or weekend adventures. The Zahara 125 is equipped with features that enhance its practicality and rider comfort. The electric and kick starter provides convenience, ensuring that you can get on the road quickly, regardless of the situation. The telescopic coil spring suspension, both front and rear, allows for a smooth ride over varying road conditions, while the lightweight frame (weighing in at just 110 kg) contributes to its nimble handling. With a seat height of 725 mm (28.5 inches), the scooter is accessible to most riders, making it a perfect fit for both novices and experienced riders alike. Plus, with a fuel capacity of 7 liters, riders can enjoy extended rides without frequently stopping to refuel. **

Pros

  • User-Friendly Handling: The lightweight design and automatic transmission make the Zahara 125 exceptionally easy to ride, perfect for urban commuting.
  • Comfortable Ride: The telescopic suspension offers a smooth experience over bumps and uneven surfaces, enhancing rider comfort.
  • Stylish Design: With its sleek lines and available color options (black and white), the Zahara 125 is visually appealing, allowing riders to express their personality.

Cons

  • Basic Features: The scooter lacks advanced features such as ABS or traction control, which may be a downside for more tech-savvy riders.
  • Small Fuel Tank: The 7-liter fuel capacity may require more frequent refueling for longer trips compared to competitors with larger tanks.
