2005 HYOSUNG EZ 100 M Scooter Pictures

So life wasn’t meant to be easy, huh? Perhaps the tall gent with no pants never threw a leg over a scooter, because otherwise he would have found out life was meant to be easy, or EZ at any rate.
It’s pretty much common knowledge that scooters are perhaps the best answer to low-cost personal transport – they’re easy to own, easy to ride, cheap to maintain, blah, blah, blah. We also know that sub- 50cc automatic scooters are legal on a car licence in some states and that sub 125cc automatic scooters require only a scooter licence in NSW, etc, etc, etc. But there’s another thing to bear in mind, NSW only at this stage, but sub-100cc vehicles are taxed at a different, ie, cheaper, rate for rego purposes.
So what does this mean? If you live in NSW, then a 100cc scooter makes the most sense for sensible transport. Faster than a speeding bullet (or a 50cc scooter), more powerful than a speeding locomotive (as long as it’s a 50cc locomotive), able to leap tall buildings at a single bound (well, you get the general idea). Supercommuter.
And the Hyosung is. Super, that is. The 99cc two-stroke is surprisingly nippy for a small capacity engine, and gets the scooter moving quite briskly in comparison with some of the larger four-strokes. Handling is scooter standard, but the front telescopic suspension handles all manner of bumps pretty well. And the brakes are very effective, too; with a front disc set-up that offers feel and power.
So that’s the technical rubbish over with, which leaves the all-important question of scooter style and practicality.
In terms of styling the EZ100 is very sharp, with enough retro chrome to please the traditionalists and yet enough modernity to appeal. In terms of function, I found the lockable glovebox handy, but the footboards begin to rise at the front a little too soon for my long legs. Having said that, though, there was enough room between the ’bars and my knees to make tight U-turns a possibility, something with which I have had trouble on some other scooters.
A black mark, however, to the underseat storage. The engine cover protruded enough into the boot to make my full-face helmet an impossible fit. Apart from that, it’s triffic.

Carner & Barzakay Professional Personal Injury Attorneys in Florida www.carnerbarzakay.com Motorcycle Accident Motorcycle accidents often result in debilitating injury or death due to the lack of protection for the rider as compared to other vehicles. When a motorcycle is involved in an accident with a car or truck, the motorcyclist is at a grave disadvantage. Car and truck drivers often fail to see a motorcycle due to their own inattentiveness and often dangerous driving. While a helmet may be the difference between life or death, the truth is as a motorcyclist, your chances of escaping a motorcycle accident without serious injury is slim. Often such accidents leave a motorcycle rider with permanent injuries and disability, costing the victim and his or her family thousands of dollars in medical bills. Moreover, in Florida, there is an inherent prejudice and/or bias against motorcycle riders which if not properly addressed can and will lead to a harsh and unjust result. This is why, if you or someone you love was injured in motorcycle accident, please contact us immediately for a free consultation with one of our Florida motorcycle accident attorneys.
