The beauty arrived.

Jungle bike.

Small cloud over the Aerox love affair. I bought the bike online in Bangkok and had it shipped to Koh Tao. The dealer kept the license plate and since there is no DLT in Koh Tao, I had to pay 5,700 baht to get a new plate and insurance.

Rookie mistake on my side.

Apart from that, the bike drives great on the hilly roads.

Aerox meet nature.

How often do you change tires on these small bikes?

I got 9000 km on the Aerox now and the rear tire only have thread left on the sidewalls.

Is Michelin City Grip 2 the way to go?

Interesting, must be softer rubber, not sure there's any need unless racing round a track

Firmer but fine, performance has been flawless, one puncture in 33k km and that's when they were brand new. A friend has a Yamaha and has done 30k km and tyres still ok he says, don't know which make but stock tyres

If I'm right you bought it 2nd hand. Are you (100%) sure about the mileage of your bike?

Good point and no I am not sure at all. Front break is also worn out. Front tire is OK however and the milage match the service book.

Have rental 2019 Aerox for couple weeks now.  I'm 6 foot 2 inches and the curved plastic part at right knee level will bump sometimes because the seat hump is to far forward for me.  Compared to Kymco People S200 the Aerox is Not as agile, the Kymco felt like a smaller bike with its bigger tires. 

 

Agree if you have full face helmet under seat storage is limited, fuel tank a little limiting, and I have temporarily locked brakes on a medium force stop think was over painted road surface.  Non-ABS model.  My Kymco had more stopping power but feel a brake pad change on Aerox would make it equal. Few newer scooters offer the ability to use my small cargo net with plastic hooks for stuff on back seat. 

 

The pluses.  Tons of power, going up hills are not a problem, quiet, ride is comfortable along with saddle, the bike is stable on uneven or bumpy surfaces, the display is big and easy to read when you leave your blinker on.  The storage issue can be worked around with backpack.  The bike is small and narrow enough to fit between almost any cars. 

 

The biggest reason to like it is everything feels like it should, works like you would think, is logically designed and layed out, and they are made with quality materials.

The newer versions of the Aerox have reduced the size of the built-in knee bangers.
