Let’s call it like it is: QJMotor has gone full-on copycat mode with its new SQ16, taking clear inspiration from Honda's incredibly popular SH125. But before we dismiss it as just another knockoff, there's more beneath the surface that could genuinely shake things up.
Since it first hit European roads back in 2001 (though its roots trace back to the 1980s), the Honda SH125 has been the king of scooters. This little scooter is beloved for its ideal mix of practicality, reliability, and easy handling. It's no wonder the scooter is often the top choice for commuters, couriers, and anyone looking for a hassle-free way to zip through urban traffic. With big 16-inch wheels, a liquid-cooled engine, solid fuel economy, and ample under-seat storage, it's a proven recipe for city scooter success.
Now, QJMotor’s SQ16 doesn't just look “inspired” by the SH125—it looks virtually identical. We're talking similar lines and bodywork, and even the same 16-inch wheel setup with dual-channel ABS. But QJMotor isn't just copying looks, it’s stepping things up in the performance department, too.
