This Chinese Maxi-Scooter Wants To Take On Honda And Yamaha, But There's A Catch

It's pretty easy to dismiss unfamiliar Chinese motorcycles as cheap knockoffs of something already on the market. And when a company you've probably never heard of rolls out a maxi-scooter resembling a Honda Forza or Yamaha XMax, the temptation is to do exactly that. But every once in a while, something deserves a closer look. The new ARIIC 318GT-S might just be one of those machines. Assuming, of course, it lives up to the marketing material.

The 318GT-S is an upgraded version of the 318GT, ARIIC's midsize touring scooter. And while the name sounds like somebody mashed together a random collection of letters, there's actually an established manufacturer behind it.
