Used Buyer Review

The Suzuki Let's 50 is exactly what it looks like — a no-frills Japanese scooter built for short urban hops and nothing else. It's genuinely reliable if it's been serviced, which is a big if on used examples. Check the variator rollers and belt before handing over cash, because neglected ones will leave you doing 20mph uphill and wondering why you bothered. The 50cc single is gutless by design, but it starts first time every time when healthy and sips fuel like nothing else on the road.

Pros

+Rock-solid Japanese reliability
+Cheap parts, easy servicing
+Excellent fuel economy
+Lightweight, easy to maneuver
+Simple CVT drivetrain

Cons

-Painfully slow on hills
-Tiny 4.5L fuel tank
-Cheap plastic feels flimsy
-Zero highway capability
