SYM Mio 50cc/100cc

Love my Mio – Had my Mio for a year and love it. It is very nippy and easily rides over 80kph - cheap to run and looks funky - definitely recommend. No real issue in filling up with petrol (and I have a top box). I previously had a 150cc Besbi and this scooter is faster and definitely more reliable

Great little bike – I have made my Mio 50 for 5 years and the only reason I am getting rid of it is due to someone reversing back onto me and damaging the body work - parts seem very expensive so the insurance company will probably write it off. The bike handles really well and uses so little fuel. I use it to commute daily to the city. Just a quick tip: put in the high octaneunleaded fuel. The price difference is minimal and the people who service both mine and my husbands have always commented how the engine is in amazing condition. Worth the extra $1per week Fun to ride, cheap to fill up, always starts first time even after being away for a few weeks The petrol fill cap is in a difficult position if you have the box installed

Sym Mio 50 – Bought the Sym for my 18. year old son. The bike looks good, very retro, good build quality. I starts and handles and runs well The brakes, lights and indicators are all good too. However, the only real fault lies with the manufacturer. The bike comes with a rev limiter CDI unit. This strangles the engine, and it won't go much over 30 mph because of it. Going up any kind of a hill is slow and tedious, and quite frankly, dangerous. To overcome this, one can buy a no rev limit CDI unit for as little as $10 (eBay) it's a straight replacement. Your best advised also, to de restrict further, by changing the rollers in the transmition from 10 grammes down to 6 grammes, and removing a restrictor ring, found in the same area. This is pretty easy and is covered in detail on U Tube. Do this and the bike is transformed, hills become much easier and top speed will certainly be over 40 mph. If only Sym did this as standard. The looks, the build quality, the reliability factor the CDI unit needs to be replaced at once.

Excellent – Great little bike for getting around the suburbs, or to the shop and back. I take my 50kg son 2km to school no problems. It's a fun little bike to ride. I love it. Retro styling with cushy seat. Can fit two. Weight in bike is well distributed and the handlebars are in a good position making it much easier to ride than other scooters I tried. Storage for helmet in seat and a hook for a bag in the front. I have the box so that gives me so much more room. It comes with a bolwell environmental bag for your shopping. If you get a flat battery you also have a kick start pedal. Runs on the smell of an oily rag. The petrol flap is awkward to reach when you have the box on it.
