I wanted an upgrade for our only bike our wife's aging Scoopy, especially wanted the better safer abs brakes, and a bit more acceleration. Anyway bought one of these adv 160 which many people recommended, don't like it.
Rode as the pillion today, miserable ride, bumpy, uncomfortable, constantly want to shuffle, painful to sit on, well unhappy. It's ok for me just riding it alone, but nothing that special just typical uninspiring scooter ride, a bit better than Scoopy of course with acceleration, but ofc not fun to ride like a forza or motorbike.
Honestly did kind of buy it as it looks better than most scoots, and a few people recommended. I massively regret not buying the Nmax as that's nice as a pillion, rented it before, or even filano as probably comfy like the scoopy ,but with abs.
My fault, guess I'm sadly stuck with it now, would obviously waste money, if I sold it straight away.
Wonder if there's any aftermarket changes? any tips for making the pillion ride better, change the seat maybe, wonder if the seat angle is part of the discomfort, wider flatter seat is nicer. Or maybe sell it after a year get some use out of it first. Any thoughts welcome
