The review about Honda Beat

Overview The affordable zippy scooters are creating a very lucrative market for brightly colored scooters with marketing materials aimed at young people. Yamaha already has Solariz and it is only natural that Honda presents BEAT to meet the needs of young people. Just look at the color choices offered for BEAT - Vital Metallic Blue, Pearl Magellanic Black, and Viva City Red. Since its launch, Honda has made minor improvements in 2017 and now also comes in the Space magenta metallic color. Apart from the color, it is now also equipped with 14-inch wheels. So how cool is this scooter in the sea of scooters known as Malaysia? Design style will appeal to high school and college students. But it will appeal more to girls than to boys. It looks small at 1864 x 666 x 1068 mm(w x l x h). The seat is low at 742 mm high. The wheelbases are equally short at 1256 mm. High ground clearance at 146 mm. And it weighs only 94 kg. What's all this? A scooter that is perfect for young people. Too suitable. The chair was not meant for the slightest weight. The short wheelbase and light weight fulfill the agility that teenagers want. The high ground clearance allows them not to see any holes or not on the road at all times. The front fenders are slightly higher than the wheels which allows for a more exciting ride. Instrumentation uses a very interesting combination of analogue and digital displays. Seat storage luggage is not enough for a helmet. And there are also 14 inch wheels with tubeless tires 80/90 and 90/90 at the front and rear. Driving and Handling Conventional suspension with telescopic front and one side mounted rear shock absorbers. The scooter is comfortable due to its excellent quality and less vibration from the engine. Comfortable sitting position with enough room in the front footboard area to move. Handling is agile because BEAT is small and light. It is also most suitable for urban roads as well as roads around the city. Engine and fuel Honda Beat uses an air-cooled engine with a capacity of 108.2 cc which produces a maximum power of 8.77 PS at 7500 rpm and a maximum torque of 9.14 Nm at 6000 rpm. The engine uses the Honda PGMFi fuel injection system. Thanks to this, BeAT will become the first Malaysian vehicle to be granted Energy Efficient vehicle status. It also has an environmental indicator on the instrument display that tells you how to ride your scooter for optimal fuel efficiency. That figure ranges from 45-50 kmpl. This makes it an excellent choice for young people who don't want to spend too much on fuel. Small fuel tank with 4L capacity, but lasts quite a while. It could be said that this motorbike is not only fuel efficient as it can reach speeds of 115 kmph. It may not be the fastest thing out there but it performs quite well. It accelerates enough to get through traffic. It's also a very smooth machine because it doesn't send too much vibration to the handlebars. The V-belt transmission also works flawlessly. Braking and Safety There's nothing to deny the fact that this scooter comes with the price in mind. This is often said to be due to deficiencies such as in terms of safety. However, Honda presented the BEAT with a single hydraulic brake at the front and a combi braking system. The combi braking system deploys the front disc and rear drum brakes at the same time as the brake lever is pulled. This system then shortens the braking distance and gives more confidence. It also has a smart locking system that keeps the brakes locked when parked and reduces the incidence of traffic accidents. The side mount itself can also turn off the engine when it is in use.
