That's too much money for a 125cc Chinese knock off, the style premium doesn't apply when it not real. Its a bit like a Rolex knock off at Rolex prices, no way.

A decent lambretta will cost u 500,000 baht in Thailand.
Maybe get a complete and utter dog of one, non runner for 250,000 baht minimum.

So if u take that into context, 97,000 baht for a brand new Scomadi with a brand new engine seems to be a good alternative.

It's not a Chinese knock off. It was designed in Britain by scooter experts Paul Merci(PM Tuning) and Frank Sanderson(Lambretta Innovations) who have over 30 years experience in Lambretta development. Their products speak for themselves. PM Tuning built and tuned my Vespa engine 20 years ago and have driven it from Scotland to England, Holland, Belguim & Germany many times. More than 70,000km later it's still going strong!

Yes Scomadi is built in China but under strict control from UK. They have been selling in the UK for over 2 years now and have not heard of any complaints.

The scomadis competitor is Vespa, not Honda or Yamaha. If u just want transport then you will buy a Honda/Yamaha. If you want style and a real driving experience, then you will buy a Vespa/Scomadi.

The TL200 Scomadi already released in the UK but they can't keep up with demand. Wait time for delivery.
Some people placed deposits in July and still waiting.
Scomadi will also be showcasing their TL400 at the Milan show. It won't be available till 2018.

The Yamaha nmax155 I like. Looks better than the pcx but haven't found anywhere in Pattaya that rents them. I've rented the pcx before but find the riding position unnatural. Handlebars too high and have to sit back on the seat to straighten arms.

I've owned a Vespa gts300 before in the uk and was the best scooter I'd ever ridden but they're 300,000 baht here. The 150 is 140,000. Double the price of a nmax/pcx!
Was looking at the 125 & 150 primavera @ 97000 & 110,000 baht but can't hire one in Pattaya and the shops don't let u test drive one.

I've tested the Scomadi 125 at speed republic and love it. As well as the looks, it also has superior brakes & suspension. Far too good for just a 125!
Only problem is the lack of storage. No under seat storage.
The Scomadi is like the Vespa. More of an icon. Fashion statement.
A lot of Thais will pay the extra for a Vespa/Scomadi.

Vespa gts150 60k baht more expensive than a pcx. Scomadi TL125 20k baht more expensive than a pcx.
You get what you pay for!

Loads of reviews on this scooter on the net. Fake replica look aside, what exactly would make you want you to buy this chinese product,
rather than a vastly superior - and much cheaper Honda PCX 150, for example?

Pcx rear drum brake. Scomadi disc.
Pcx crap shocks. Scomadi preload adjustable sports shocks built in Britain by scooter experts, PM Tuning.
Pcx 126kg, Scomadi 100kg.
Pcx 8 litre tank. Scomadi 11 litre.
Pcx typical Japanese design, built in Vietnam. Scomadi exact replica of the GP designed by Italian legend Bertone(Ferrari), built in China.
Pcx handlebars? Can anyone explain these?
Pcx red/white/grey/black. Scomadi Kevlar/satin/chrome/mint/ocean blue/orange/black/red/dual colour.

Sebastian,

What went wrong with the 125 engine?

Just to resurrect the topic.
Has anyone purchased a Scomadi?
I'm looking to buy a scooter and the Scomadi looks the best looking scooter by far.
