Maxi-scooters have been growing in popularity across Europe and Asia in recent years. More and more city-dwellers are appreciating the convenience of a scooter that can be ridden daily, with the long-distance touring capabilities of full-size touring bikes. That said, even beginners are getting in on the maxi-scooter fun with the introduction of a variety of small-displacement maxi-scooters.
Now, the notion of a small-displacement maxi-scooter may seem like an oxymoron, and indeed, this is true to a certain extent. After all, the “maxi” in maxi-scooter means big – as in these scooter’s should be more capable than a traditional scooter. While small-displacement maxi-scooters feature tiny engines, they do, however, offer some additional creature comforts than their more barebones cousins. Take, for example, the new Storm-X maxi-scooter from Spanish manufacturer Wottan.
