Test Ride Honda Scoopy, Body Bigger But Still Save Fuel



Scoopy tested in the first session of the ride was, even with my ngetes OTONETTERS (OTOMOTIFNET.com forum members) also has. Hmm .. but there is one less. Performance and fuel consumption has not been tested! Okay, measuring instruments made in England Racelogic back in use.

With the weight tester which reached 76 kg, Scoopy which uses the same 110cc engine Honda Beat is still quite responsive when digeber, though not segalak BEAT. This was evidenced when menguki maximal running capacity. Scoopy speedometer needle stuck in the figures only 95 km / hr. Whereas translucent BEAT 105 km / hr.

Why do not you? there are several plausible reasons. The first design is more bloated and width of course make less aerodynamic elements. In addition Scoopy weight was 5 kg heavier than the Beat. Scoopy 94kg, while only 89.3 kg BEAT. Was fair.

Even so acceleration toward the top speed is still quite enjoyable. The proof is to achieve speed 60km/jam, Scoopy only takes 7.6 seconds. Distance was 201 meters can be achieved with a time of 13.9 seconds. If the tester is lighter weight would be much faster.

Moderate consumption of fuel affairs, spelled out very economical. Pengetesannya method is not constant, but is used in normal road traffic which requires a stop and go. Maximum speed is limited to 60 to 70 km / hr. The result, this retro skutik have traveled 45.3 km per one liter of premium. Save it!

Comfortable Seating Position!

After doing the testing for performance, fun is also to bring much Scoopy road. Jakarta-Bogor route deliberately chosen, a total trip of about 150 km and takes less than 2 hours back and forth. And quickly proved not hot buttocks. Maybe it's because the form joknya wider than skutik-skutik BEAT or else already ahead gliding in Indonesia.

Besides a higher handlebar position and width makes the body upright and relaxed position. More relaxed again, because apparently Scoopy footrests are also more extensive than a beat. Feet of space became more comfortable and free to move without fear stuck handlebar.

1240mm wheelbase ensures that only very agile handling. Bend in the jam too easily done. Suspension was as good as beat. Reduce the vibration caused by bad roads could easily be done.
