Safety is not compromised, as the scooter is equipped with expanding drum brakes on both the front and rear, ensuring reliable stopping power. The well-thought-out dimensions, including a seat height of 795 mm and a ground clearance of 155 mm, cater to a wide range of riders, making it easy to handle and park in tight spots. **
