That would definitely over my rear axle

Plus starting the engine won't help me, you dont need to bend down and become a contortionist as yiu have no roof in your way

I have a SYM HD 200. It’s 115 kgs and is brilliant two up. I use it on a towball scooter rack, it’s been all over Europe without any issues, better in a garage as well.

What sort of towball scooter rack is it?

We have a towbar already fitted to our MH but it has a sticker on it that says max vertical load 100kgs . :-(

The tow ball in your pictures is nothing like ours. I don’t think it would work with our rack. I will send you some pictures of ours tomorrow so you can see.

Hi all
I am after a scooter to put in the garage of the MH as I do not want to tow anything

I am thinking of either a honda sh125 or sh300 I would ideally like the 125 for lightness but I am worried it will struggle with 2 larger people on it about 30 stone combined ?

Has anyone got either of these models and can comment on what they are like especially performance 2 up but other pros and cons too

Hello LanerBoy

Just got a Elddis CV20 on order and got my choice of scooter down to SH125 or SH300 hence my interest in this thread. My worry is also whether my wife and I (at a combined weight of 27 stone) can get up a Spanish coastal hill on a SH 125 but also whether it will sit nicely on a rear rack without the need for a trailer. Oh the trials and tribulations of retirement !

Anyone used that trailer with the two small wheels ? Think it is called an easy tow

 

[Lanerboy]

Hi
Where are you based we are in Buton upon Trent in Staffordshire, you are welcome to come and try mine with both of you on it I find it perfect no problems at all with 2 people on it

 

[Laughing Gravy]

That’s really a kind offer, thanks. I may take you up on that but we are up near Chester so a little way to get there. I was hoping my local Honda may do an extended test ride.

I fancy the Mode version tbh. Nice and cheap ! And low saddle for my wife to cock her leg over ?

The 125 is 12bhp iirc. Our 110cc scooter is 8bhp and while it's OK on the flat (55mph+) up hills are embarrassing, if it's a steep hill you're looking at 20mph.

The 125 is half as powerful again so should be reasonable up hills. Given it's lighter and a lot cheaper than the 300 it's the one I'd go for ?

 

[Laughing Gravy]

I think the key element to the performance of the bike is how much weight the bike is carrying and the 27 stone of our combined weight isn’t exactly ideal I know. We plan to do the Spanish costas like the Costa Brava and some of the local coastal hills are 30%+ so would be happy just to get up there at 15mph !

One of the most frustrating features is when you pull out of a junction up hill, you need the thing to GO! and it's dragging it's arse ?

Our 125cc will do 60mph on the flat and 40-45mph on a good hill 2 up i am so glad i bought the sh125

You don’t have to answer this !

What is you and your partners combined weight ? ?

 

[Lanerboy]

SH 125 — Honda - yes Honda not some Chinese crap at half the price ! It does what it says on the tin and that’s climbing hills no problem even with 28 stone on board ,it flies up.

 

[Laughing Gravy]

Still can t decide between the Honda Sh300 which will require a trailer and the Honda Sh125 Mode that I can put on a rack

Choosing my campervan, or indeed my home was an easier choice ! ?

help !

If you're getting a trailer you might as well get a proper bike. KTM Duke 890 available end of Feb ?

 

[Laughing Gravy]

thanks I am veering towards the Honda Sh125 Mode too @ 116kg

As you said in a previous post, starting off on a hill on a 125 isn’t easy but lateral thinking has made me decide that I wouldn’t go up the hill I would go down the hill !

easy !

Ours is a 110cc though. It's down 4hp on the 125 ?
