5 Gilera GP800
Country: Italy
Average price: 345000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
The speed of 193 km / h for this maxi-scooter is the limit value, while it accelerates to hundreds in just 5.7 seconds. For a vehicle with the most affordable price, these are the best indicators that can attract a demanding buyer. The engine develops a torque of 73 N * m, which, through a belt variator and a chain drive, transmits it to the rear wheel with minimal losses. At the same time, the total mass of a maxi-scooter with a payload of 202 kg can reach 450 kg.
The owners in their reviews note that the high center of gravity of the GILERA GP800 for beginners leads to frequent loss of balance during stops - the angle of inclination of the maxi scooter, at which it can be easily held, is much less than that of other models. Given the decent weight of the device, slow maneuvering on it, as well as on a heavy motorcycle, requires certain skills. An open circuit also needs more attention and regular maintenance. However, all these nuances (their tongue cannot be called shortcomings) are more than compensated by the most powerful engine and the best acceleration dynamics.

Country: Taiwan
Average price: 415000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
This manufacturer is widely represented in Russia, and its products enjoy well-deserved popularity in the market. Maxi scooter SYM MAXSYM 600i ABS has a decent power of 45 horsepower, and with a fuel consumption of 5 liters per hundred (combined cycle) is able to move at a speed of 180 km/h.Despite this, the car does not accelerate as fast as desired, but it has a good margin of endurance - the second passenger and the full load of the luggage compartment (and it is quite roomy) do not affect the dynamics at all.
The brake system is also highly appreciated by the owners, which works instantly, but at the same time acts smoothly, providing predictable deceleration from any speed. In the reviews, the handling of the maxi-scooter also deserved praise - despite the rather massive weight (224 kg) and the length of 2.27 m, its maneuverability allows the owner to feel like a “fish in water” in overloaded city traffic. It is also suitable for country trips - there is a windshield, head light and the ability to install a wardrobe trunk.
