Owner feedback

"Zodiac" - a moped, little studied by simpleusers. There are not so many reviews about him. By itself, it's not bad. Develops speeds up to seventy kilometers per hour. It is more difficult to disperse it. True, if you go uphill, you need to lower the transmission. In this regard, he is worse than the same "Alpha". A lot of criticism is both for the work of the engine, and for the assembly of the design itself. The battery is weak, it is often changed. Leave a lot to be desired and welded seams. They are not treated with protective agents and quickly rust.

The new moped "Zodiac" costs about 30-35 thousand rubles. At this cost, it can not be ideal in all respects.
