Storage is okay for such a small size scooter but unfortunately doesn’t take a large full face helmet, close but not quite. The Mio also has some great features for such an affordable scooter: a handle bar mounted seat storage switch so you can easily access your gear without using the key, a kill switch under the seat to help prevent theft and a fuel cap release on the ignition barrel to speed up refills. All together a lot of convenient features and certainly more than most of the competitors offer at this price point. The Mio does have rear pegs for a pillion and will actually move two smaller people along reasonably swiftly. Obviously it’s a little cramped but just fine for short trips around town.

The real party piece however is the cool dash lighting, with each move of the headlight switch you can cycle through green, red and blue lighting, with a cool glow. It serves no real purpose but is a nice little surprise. Retailers tell me it is a great gimmick and helps sell many a scooter. Funny really….us humans are really dumb: a few colored lights and we’re sold. Aliens flying past our little world must look down on us and sigh. Oh well…I’m dumb too…I like the colorful lights.
