T-Rex B1The 49-cc T-Rex B1 gets a fresh makeover for 2009 and proves to be an interesting alternative to 125-cc scooters with a larger size than traditional 50-cc models. Setting it apart is a relatively high yet justified market price that comes with a very comprehensive list of features and more accommodating proportions. Expect to find two stands, a safety kick, a complete instrument panel and a large under-seat storage compartment capable of holding a full-face helmet and a U-Lock device in a specifically-designed partition. |
The highly-serviceable 2-stroke single-cylinder from PGO is a proven engine that won't have any problem handling the 102 kilos of the new T-Rex B1. Meanwhile, the 125-type chassis will offer comfort and stability to larger-than-average riders. Furthermore, the wide, sport-oriented tires (120/70-12 front; 130/70-12 rear) and petal-shaped front brake disc with dual-piston caliper will combine to ensure superior safety and grip during aggressive braking and cornering maneuvers. Bottom line: PGO has made extra efforts to provide consumers with a brand new scooter that's clean and quiet -- the resulting E-Metro delivers efficient performance along with a reasonable range around the city. As for the redesigned T-Rex B1, its modern, go-anywhere styling and 125-type dimensions will definitely appeal to adult commuters, while the 49-cc engine means it can be ridden by any car driver or 6D-class license holder age 14 and over.
