Page 4 of 4 
The Urban R4, a 50cc scooter for everyone, its big enough to handle a basketball player, yet you don't need to be particularly big or strong to handle it whether getting on and off the centre stand or around town. Great visablilty working for both for the rider in traffic to see what is happening, and for being more obvious to other road users. This is due to the Urbans physical dimensions and height in particular. Its not fastest scooter in the world, nor is it the slowest, nowhere near the most ugly, but certainly not the best looking, the Urban is a good, solid all round performer, it gets around with no real problems, the minor complaints I mentioned are fairly well off-set by it many positive attributes.

Use this bike for a while and you will notice issues with the electric start. The bike will start fine with the electric start if you use it everyday. But leave it a day and you will have to kick start it. Must be power leakage from the standby for the remote control start.
The bike is slow up any sort of hill. It must be the slowest 50cc up hills!
The bike gets up to 25kms per litre normally less.
