Great!

Try disconnecting the battery for at least 1/2 hour and then reconnect and see if your system resets so you can see your phone in Bluetooth settings. If that doesn't work, the dealer should be able to re-initialize your system. If that doesn't work, make a warranty claim.

Nice ❤👍

First of all Im 6'3" 205 lbs and I bought a wind screen from Amazon Motoforti brand ....its a deflecter and is 29.99. After you install it on top of wind shield you wont feel any wind at all on helmet.....it makes helmet whisper quiet ... ...you didnt know this I see. This is the best Maxi scooter for ride and comfort for $6299 out the door I paid Nov 23

Sweet Bike

Great review. Thanks for making this. I actually prefer the straightforward approach from someone who actually owns the scooter and uses it instead of the other videos I've seen. The tech issues are disappointing. I also figured the windshield was inadequate just from the pictures. Would be great if you could just use an app on the phone to lock and unlock instead of the fobs. I'd be curious what fuel efficiency you're getting and what you end up spending on a week in gas for your commute. Also curious about how easy the oil change is.

other than the "tech" of the scooter's screen connectivity crap, this bike is awesome in the power, simplicity ,reliability and cheap in the maintainence stuff . Got it since DEC 2023 and use it as a tourer, work commuting and other everyday chores . Comfy and stable. Love it as it is.

@lychiadventures8231 ME too since Nov 2023........Xmax 300 rules all other bikes ......I don't see how it could get better ?????

Does the under seat storage area get warm/hot from the engine? Any concerns about putting cold/frozen groceries in there?

@DarrenWaite

6 ай бұрын

Hey thanks for watching, there doesn't seem to be any heat buildup under the seat area, even after longer rides

Thanks for posting this video. This scooter is cheap in my country - America - I can get this for 6k. However, the Vespa GTS Super Sport 300 is roughly 8500k (I am torn between the two), it does not have a windscreen and the storage is less. You've given me a lot to reconsider!

@naev.3344 the Vespas not even remotely close to the Xmax 300 VESPAS ride like a tank with the smallest tires in the world !!!!! You hit a bump and you will almost get thrown off the bike !!!!! There's no comparrasin ....not even remotely close !!!

Hi! Great info pack in just a few minutes. For a first scooter do you recommend this xmax or the nmax 155? I have the moto license for 4 years but haven't ridden more than 200km. I want it mainly for city commute. What do you think? Thank you!

@DarrenWaite

4 ай бұрын

For city 100% get the nmax 155, the xmax is overkill imo!

@josejpl69

3 ай бұрын

I should say Nmax 155 but one you will like to take a road trip then youll regret not getting the Xmax300

The app is fliddly. You hsve to go into the settings in the app and your phone to grant permissions and always connect, otherwise you have to manually connect everytime. Also the navigation wont work unless you open garmin on your phone

My favourite xmax is the euro 4 2018-2020 model, but I don’t like the keyless, much prefer a traditional key,

How long was your daily commute? I'm thinking of getting one but my commute is 20 miles (32km) each way. Do you think the XMAX would be good for this?

@DarrenWaite

Ай бұрын

30KM is pushing it, for me it's not really suitable for long rides, especially at high speeds, the buffering and seat aren't comfortable enough (in my opinion) but I'm also a heavier guy and 6ft so that could be a personal issue

2022 Tech Max was beautiful scooter. Was a proud owner of it (although painting is cheap, it's very scratchy). Complete digital board, which started from 2023, is so ugly, it's like some cheap, in prototype phase, Chinese scooter. You don't know if Classic or Tech Max is more terrible - classic has that one screen and the upper part looks like something is missing (which is actually a part that comes on Tech Max), but tech max looks like it has too many screens, like some failed hybrid lol. Only worth from Yamaha now is T Max, but it's too expensive, so bye Yamaha, I will miss you 😭

Thank you for your input. Trying to decide on the xmax 300 or the honda 160. I live in the states so im limited to the adv 160. Adv 160 is only 4.5k dollars compared to 8k for xmax.

Xmax is $6,100 where I'm at in the US. The question you should ask yourself is, do you plan on using it on the freeway? I'd get the Xmax if you're going on the freeway, otherwise the Honda ADV will treat you well.

Connectivity on xmax is just stupid. Y Connect is compulsory and when you are not riding the bike, Y Connect keeps trying to communicate with the bike when it's turned off which drains your cellphone battery. I should've bought an ADV instead.

Never put your keys anywhere other than your pocket lol!!
