I am writing this post after my review on Access 125 which I have used for almost 7 years.
Despite Access 125 being excellent scooter, my wife avoided using it. As I was using my car for office travel, I found the scooter not used to the fullest. After conversation, I found that she was avoiding driving the scooter due to its heavy weight & high seating position. She was fearful handling the scooter in crowded market.
I thought to change my scooter. The only available option in the segment having weight of around 100 kgs & suitable seating position for women of height 5 ft 2 inches was TVS scooty Pep. But I didn’t like its looks. I searched for better option with good styling, young looks & which also satisfies the low weight & seating position. Finally I manged to find one to my satisfaction. That was Yamaha Ray Z.
Yamaha Ray Z has following advantages.
Unique & young design(Stand-out on road)
Weight around 104 kgs(Easy to move)
Good power 7.2 bhp(Great Pickup)
Low seating position of of 760 mm(Comfortably can keep both feet on ground)
Fuel economy in city driving around 50 km/l
I bought Yamaha Ray Z in April 2014 & have been using this vehicle regularly without any issues till date. My wife uses the vehicle frequently now. She feels comfortable handling the vehicle.
