So far we've got ABS, and remote starting and alarm, but that wasn't enough, its also got a carbon-fibre look surround and big can... japanese style exhaust pipe, while neither adds anything for performance it definitely adds to the look of the bike. The gauges are well lit and cleanly laid out. There is all the needed data; indicators, high beam, oil, low fuel light, even a digital clock. The speedo like almost all scooters was out a little. 46.1kph was the actual speed when the speedo read 50kph, not too bad. The fuel gauge is huge, but I found tended to vary widely depending on the angle of the bike. It would vary up to a 1/4 of a tank going from a uphill to a down hill position. But this is just something you'd get used to if riding the R4 on a regular basis. The Urban R4 can take a full-face helmet with ease. This model reviewed featured a factory top-box for extra storage. Perfect for your shopping or gym gear. It comes standard with side stand as well as the normal centre stand and moving the bike on and off the centre stand was done with ease.

The motor and driveline of the Urban is very similar to the other 'Big 50's' Adly Silverfox, and the PGO PMX, They all are a little slower off the line than the smaller wheeled, lighter scooters due to the extra weight, and bigger wheels. From the green light to 50kph took 14.0 for the R4, a little slower than the Adly Silverfox (11.9) and a little faster than the PGO PMX (14.3). The top speed of the Urban was most impressive for a 50cc scooter, managing a maxmium speed of just under 70kph on the flat. The gas milage wasn't amazingly good or bad. Our testing resulted in 25kph per liter. Or 58.8mpg so there is definately cheaper scooters to run but I was running the scoot at wide open throttle almost the entire time while testing, so increased fuel economy would be easy if simply cruising around town.

While the Urban has been built with a large number of cool gadgets, the overall build quality was quite average, there wasn't anything really nasty, but it just didn't have that quality feel that you find on many Italian scooters. Perhaps it is quality and quanity of black plastic, combined with the key and fuel cap, which slightly lowered the overall appearance of a good bike. But with that said, from the front the scooter looks great, the twin head-light arrangement look and performs well, adding to the sporty agressive persona.
