The bike we tested here was still restricted and quite slow because of it. Any normal owner will quickly have these idiotic restrictions removed so the scooter becomes a fully functional device. We’ve heard the Rally is a little harder to de-restrict than some scooters as it has more than one method of restriction. The best bet is to have a quiet word with your local retailer on how best to go about this. In my opinion restricted scooters are just downright dangerous; the power restrictions make it difficult to flow with traffic and just plain annoying on hills. Brakes are again about average for a 50cc machine, they give fairly good lever feedback and reasonable power. The front wheel is gripped with a single piston disc and there’s the usual drum brake on the back wheel. As I always say…why not a disc brake in the back too?

Summing up the Rally. I imagine the Prima Rally will suit somebody who wants a larger sized 50cc scooter, something that doesn’t throw you off over a tiny bump in the road and looks a bit different to the average bland 50cc models at this price point. If you’re a bigger lad or lass then put the Hyosung Prima Rally on your list of bikes to test ride…but make sure you have a word about removing the restrictions as it’s definitely on the slow side off the showroom floor. Oh and you could always win the World Rally Championship…that’s gotta be good for a few bob.
