It is an ideal choice for riders who seek a thrilling riding experience, along with the convenience and efficiency of a scooter.

On the go, no instant surge of power is there from the get-go but once the bike gets moving, the Yamaha Aerox 155 is quite fast. An additional handlebar brake can be useful in wet conditions, or if you’re used to nipping around at greater speed. A new release from the scooting brand, the Zinc flyte three-wheeled folding scooter is a fantastic bit of kit.The early style (’83 – ’84) is shown in the first two photos on this page, while the updated style is shown above left. We were dubious that it was just about the fun factor but were pleased to see that functionality hasn’t been overlooked. Truth be told, those on the fence are likely to become converts, with kids’ scooters being the unsung hero of the monotonous school run, or elongating precious family walks, so they can be cherished for longer. Unlike most of the other scooters we tested, it doesn’t have a long shelf life – our slight four-year-old was a good size for it, as were her younger friends, but two years of use is probably the maximum. We recruited a younger tester to try out the ride-on element, and his reluctance to give it back is testament to how good it is.

The scooter comes in separate parts, which you’ll build using the trusty Allen key, so we’d recommend putting aside 30 minutes to complete the task. A properly running Aero 50 tops out at about 37-40mph and the ’85 to ’87 models can be modified to go quite a bit faster. The new design included an updated look, a new engine (AF05), a glovebox and a few other tweaks to make it more comfortable. These scooters are very reliable so all you may need to do is get some fresh gas and oil in it, change the plug, maybe clean the carb and get a new battery and you’ll be set for years of fairly reliable scootering.For people taller than 6 ft, the knee room might feel a little cramped, even though it is not uncomfortable. Its smart design technology provides two toys in one – before it graduates into a scooter, you have the option of a ride-on toy, and changing between the two options is achieved in one swift movement, without a single tool in sight. This design also helps to reduce wind resistance and drag, improving the scooter's overall performance. Is it the best scooter from Yamaha India yet, or does it have the qualities to make it the very best in the scooter segment?
