2006 Dazon Sicilian 125 Scooter Review
by Bill
(Harrisburg, PA, USA)
I took ownership of this scooter about 1 month ago. My brother gave it to me as a gift as he was purchasing a full-size motorcycle. The Dazon scooter had 1615 miles when I received it and I have put about 300 miles on it since then.
I had to do some simple maintenance to get the engine to start and also to pass Pennsylvania inspection. The scooter starts and runs nicely now and is OK quality.
There are many look-alike scooters (Roketa, etc.), so spare parts do not seem to be a problem. I was able to find parts online (replacement turn signals and lens covers that fit perfectly and at a reasonable price).
The engine is a 125cc GY6. The top speed is 47 mph on a flat and level surface (I weigh 160 lbs.). Fuel consumption is 60-65 mpg.
This scooter is really fun to ride on back country roads with minimal traffic or in 25-35 mph traffic in town (Hershey, PA).
I would not ride it on roads where average speeds get much above 40 mph as the speed governor kicks in and limits acceleration. Also the handling above 40 gets "interesting" with the small tires. Handling in gravel or dirt is also squirrely so I avoid these areas.
I am planning to ride this scooter back and forth to work for as long as the weather holds out. I am really enjoying the morning and evening rides!
Plus the scooter looks cool and I can talk to Jesus while I am riding and thank Him for keeping me safe and for letting me have so much fun. I used to ride 250cc street cycles in the 1970s but the scooter is the thing now.

A battery tender like the Battery Tender Jr. can make all the difference in whether your scooter will start right up each spring, after being stored for months.
Just about every scooter owner needs to have a battery tender, sometimes called a trickle charger. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can ride all year long, chances are your scooter will be put on ice, figuratively-speaking, for at least a couple months every winter.
One of the key steps in winterizing a scooter is to protect your battery from draining during its "rest" period. This can – and will – happen if you leave your battery sitting untended in your cold scooter over the winter, even if it's in a garage or shed.

Attention!
I'm Back!
Yes, I have been noticeably absent from the site the past few months. I recently lost my mother to a long battle with COPD and was subsequently plagued with a bunch of minor health problems. But I'm better now & back full swing.
I had to delete over a hundred questions that had been submitted, some because they were too old for answers to still be valuable and many because they were written in text speak, which I don't accept on the site. PLEASE... use proper capitalization & punctuation, so I can publish your question/review, etc. without editing. Thanks! :)
Wondering why your scooter question never got posted?
Chances are, there is a good reason. Did you...
If you "checked yes" on any of the points above, then I've deleted your post. Sorry, but I have standards. Feel free to re-submit, following the instructions I have everywhere on the site.
Also... all submissions have to be reviewed by me, and that can take a few days sometimes. Comments go live without approval, but still take 30 to 60 minutes to show up, so don't repost them, please.
