Drove 1200km to ride the Zontes M310!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
I knew about this scooter for over 1 year but it was never available in my home country of Romania. Apparently i had to drive 1200km al the way to Athens to get a proper ride on it. And it was well worth the wait. This scooter blew me away with how light it feels and how powerful it actually is. For taller riders it may seem a little cramped but someone of my height of just 175cm tall it has the perfect amount of legroom. Very positively impressed by Zontes's first effort at a scooter.

You actually took the longer route from my house (near your starting point Alimos) towards Kolonaki and Syntagma Square. I've been using a Citycom S the past 7 years and I was looking for a change and this video got me rethink my alternatives Thanks

@@RideWithAlex I'll definitely go to check it out. I'm about 1,83 metres tall, right now I'm hovering around the 95 kilos but that's not my non competition weight, I'm curious to see if my size will be of any trouble. I do need smaller dimensions though, you clearly need it in the center of Athens when commuting

@@sailorsenshi6 in terms of size it's like a 125cc scooter and feels just about as light and maneuverable as a 125 scooter. That's what really impressed me, it feels so small and light but then when 30+ HP kicks in it feels stupid fast.

I am happy to see you driving in Athens roads.. This scooter has a lot of electronics and it's very nice but I don't know how reliable is in long running. The aftersale support and I don't know after a few years If the damage begins. One after the other. The Gorgolis support is important but I don't know about the plastics and the engine..

Hi, how are the suspension and vibration on M310 from your experience? When I tested 350D vs 350E at your shop I liked more 350E, this seems to vibrate more.
@RideWithAlex

We never had the 350D only the 310M. I think you feel the vibrations on the 310M more because it's a little bit smaller.

Cel de prezentare pe care l-am avut este fix acesta pe care am mers, l-am avut o perioada scurta ca si mostra doar ca nu am apucat sa il testez atunci, a trebuit sa ma duc dupa el in grecia sa il incerc :))))). Momentan suntem in discutii cu sa il aducem dar trebuie sa vedem daca poate fabrica sa produca suficiente unitati pentru piata europeana. Decizia finala nu a fost luata inca dar sper sa putem sa il aducem cat mai curand pentru ca mi-a cam facut cu ochiul cat m-am plimbat cu el.
Alex .....trebuie neaparat sa faceti ceva sa il aduceti ....din prezentarea ta pare combinatia perfecta pt oras si ocazional iesiri pe autostrada si cu siguranta va avea un pret foarte bun .

Brilliant review, Alex! I want one just because you laughed the whole time. Says it all (unless you were on nitrous oxide?!). I’m looking for a fun scooter and your views of a 125 size with much more power is the point. The ADV350 and BMW 400 are bigger and heavier, the Honda with less tech. Looks like a great scoot and great value. Cheers, Ian

@Igor Danilovic drives great. But I find it a bit small. Great for the city but at higher speeds and Rain and windy I find it to be a scooter that doesn't provide enough protection. The wind shield isn't bug enough. If I could go back I'd pick the cruisym 300 or the xciting 400. I think there is also a bit too much vibration. So if you are thinking of buying one, drive it first.
