Do you know which models are with ABS as standard?
I only know of handful of models , and none are small scoots (49cc). I don't think they make small scoots with ABS available.
How aboot traction control?? heh

Plenty of Chinese scoots claim to have ABS. Just a valve, usually between the brake caliper and hose, that limits pressure. Not real ABS. For true ABS, I think you'll need to look larger.

The abs on scoots ( from what I have rseen) is exactly like what Chevy used ingh emid to late 80's for the rear brakes in the Cavalier's. Mayb eothers too, but idk. Ido know the 86 Cavalier's use two of those spring loaded pressure regulators to keep the back tires from locking up under hard braking.

I think the big Piaggios have ABS with speed sensors and everything.

Interesting comment related to Honda Metropolitan rentals . . "I've loosened all the front brake action on the scoots because of the sand and gravel in the area. Less wrecks!" . . sourceLinked brake discussion. |

I could see how on a sandy street that just squeezing the rear could still possibly lock up the front. I'm amazed a rental place spent the money on Hondas. |

I wonder how well they work?
More scoots should have ABS... obviously it's cost prohibitive.
