      If your scooter has an engine capacity of 50cc or more or can travel faster than 50km/h a motorcycle license is required in all states and territories. In SA, QLD, WA or NT, if your scooter's engine capacity is below 50cc and cannot travel faster than 50km/h, you can ride if you hold a C class license.

        Are there any scooters with an engine capacity below 50cc?

        You are getting into ebike territory there and you can ride those on the footpath with plausible deniability.

          Well there's a pretty big difference in that an ebike is electric. In terms of speed and power [in QLD at least] an ebike is limited to 250w, an escooter is limited to 25km/h, but a 50cc scooter is limited to 50km/h (but requires registration and a car licence).

    What sort of l/100km would these get in the city?

    • The Value on 07/07/2024 - 11:27

      It's rated at 300km from the 5 litre tank.

      So expect around 2-3 litres per 100km.

    • dtc on 07/07/2024 - 11:27

      2/l100km. A bit under 300km per tank

    • browser on 07/07/2024 - 12:08

      While it sounds like pretty good mileage, the engine is quite basic and not as efficient, it's 1/10th the weight of a small car that can easily do 6-8L/100km in the city, so 2-3L/100km is quite bad comparatively.

      • Hasbulla on 07/07/2024 - 12:28

        Driving a car is not efficient. Occupancy rates are world record low (approx one driver per car). Best to ride this scooter from a to b to transport one person only. Sustainability one o one

      • frugalferret on 07/07/2024 - 14:50

        The NSC110 actually gets 1.6l/100km.

        I have a CT125 and get 1.7l/100km.

        Fuel efficiency isn't proportional to vehicle mass. An 80 tonne truck, doesn't use 53 x more fuel than a 1500kg corolla.

        I ride whenever I can, to reduce fuel usage in my car. I ride about 6000 km/year, and that costs me about $216 in fuel/year. I can ride my bike for a whole year for less than 2 tanks of fuel in my car.

        thanks for the giggle….. it's refreshing to hear the thoughts of someone not very familiar with a topic.
        consider something like a mach 3 H1 500cc kasawaski of yesteryear, with near fatal power (considering handling and stopping characteristics), getting about 19L/100km.
        ps…. your calculator battery needs replacing… 5 litres to travel 300km is 1.66L/100 km… not 2-3

        comparing a motorbike/scooter fuel economy to a car is not linear. This scooter may be your quoted 1/10th the weight, but if you rode it do you think your overall height would be 1/10th that of a car? There are many factors at play, including wind resistance.

        although…. if you can point me in the direction of a motor scooter or motorbike that can be bought new in australia for less than say $100K (thus excluding solar and solar hybrid prototypes) and used on our roads, with a fuel economy of say .6-.8L per 100 km…. I'm all ears.

      • Brick Tamland on 07/07/2024 - 20:53

        It’s a cheap scooter, can’t expect a whizz bang variable valve hybrid.

      • macrocephalic on 08/07/2024 - 10:50
        +1

        Weight is only a small factor in fuel efficiency. Wind resistance is a bigger issue.

        The bigger way to look at it though is that most cars on the road are carrying one person. This scooter can carry one person. Per person a scooter is 5x as fuel efficient as a car (and actually pretty close to a bus).

          do you have any other pearlers that I can repeat down the pub to the local farmers, who regularly travel between their far flung farming blocks in tractors pulling agricultural equipment at less than 20Kph.
          do let me relay their censored responses in advance…. coughbullshit, you have no idea what you are talking about.

              @kmp: Your link to ellen's story from the not for profit non government organisation "road sense" doesn't assist much.
              It attempts to link to relevant road traffic act law in different states.

              Her phrase "However, while it may not be illegal to drive under the speed limit, driving too slowly is" highlights the dilemna.
              For a start, it IS NOT (rather than may not) illegal to drive under the speed limit.
              Every state's law quoted uses the word "obstruct", and all but one include "unreasonably".

              Anyone who has driven on a non-urban road will be aware that trucks often travel slower than the speed limit, generally for one of three reasons:
              a) they are going uphill, and don't have sufficient power to travel up the hill at the speed limit (and often they will be travelling up steepish hills at under 1/4 of the speed limit.
              b) they are travelling downhill, with either common sense of specific legislation limiting their speed or the vague gear range (eg "low gear") they must use, in order to minimise the chances that the truck cooks their brakes and causes a catastrophe
              c) the speed limit for heavy vehicles is often less than the speed limit for cars (and also often varies depending on the truck configuration… eg B doubles etc lower speed limit than single semis, which have an absolute limit of 100Kph.

              Most people will have seen various unusual vehicles travelling on non-urban roads. Trucks carrying unusual large loads such as machinery and transportable structures and houses are an example that often have a police escort. The police escort's role is not to give the heavy vehicle driver a ticket for travelling too slow, or for obstructing traffic flow.
              As mentioned, farm equipment is often moved along public rural roads at a low speed.

              In fact, many regions have specific supporting regulation signposted boldly at entrances to hi speed roads, highlighting that horses and bicycles are banned. There is a vast difference between the speed capability of the average horse/ horse drawn vehicle, or bicycle,….. and scooters that can max at around 100KPH.

              Additionally, australian rural roads carry frequently car drawn caravan, boat, and heavy trailer traffic. Many drivers are blissfully ignorant of the instability and speed recommendations for these combos…. but they are significanlty less than open road speed limits.

              Having given the above examples, I'll finish off by saying that personal judgement should always be used. Would I use this scooter to travel by a major road/highway? Perhaps…. depends on my alternatives.

              Would/should I be given a ticket for using this scooter on a major road or highway? Only if I was speeding, or committed some other (valid) breach of traffic law. To be given a ticket for simply using the scooter would be ludicrous, and if any police officer had the bad judgement to issue a ticket it would be thrown out of court.

              If I continuously meandered down a busy multilaned major highway at 30KPH in good road conditions for no reason, should I be warned or ticketed? Probably, regardless of whether I was in a mustang, a big mack, or a scooter…. unless say …. the critter was overheating, and I was trying to get to a place of refuge or repair.

                @rooster7777: Laws differ from state to state and its often open to interpretation.
                Point is going too slow can be just as dangerous as going too fast in some circumstances.
                Research out of the US shows that those driving 16km/h slower than the prevailing speed limit are six times more likely to be involved in a car accident.

                  @kmp: As I said in my post, all but one state has the words "unreasonably obstruct" in their legislation… not much variation there.

                  Your link to a law firm's website cites one instance 5 years ago in WA of someone being ticketed for travelling 28 KPH below the speed limit. That webpage also refers to travelling in the right lane of a multilane highway unless overtaking… it's not clear if that was what the man was doing 5 years ago, with the unreasonably obstruct being a secondary offence.

                  Quoting a source that quotes an unidentified source as stating "Research out of the US shows that those driving 16km/h slower than the prevailing speed limit are six times more likely to be involved in a car accident" on a webpage that also has its prime example being a single 5 year old ticket isn't big on credibility.

                  I've given a comprehensive reasoning on why I think your "it's against the law to drive too slow" is a crock of bollocks.
                  Feel free to respond with more motherhood statements…. or not respond at all.

    • hippo2s on 07/07/2024 - 18:49

      But that's a legendary super cub and with a proper gearbox. This thing is a scooter CVT so not really comparable IMO.

      • rooster7777 on 07/07/2024 - 20:58
        +1

        A fuel injected CVT scooter with 9.5:1 compression ratio, and a curb weight of 100Kg, churns out a spiffing 8HP (5.8KW)… with a commonly reported top speed of 80KPH on a good day.

        The CT110 postie bike with centrifugal clutch and 4 speed gearbox, with 8.5:1 compression ratio, and a curb weight of 89.5Kg, churned out 7.5HP (5.6KW)… with a commonly reported speed of 85-90KPH.

        Sounds pretty comparable to me…. I reckon the reduced Cd (drag coefficient) of the slippery fairings would be the main factor of the speed difference.

        • hippo2s on 09/07/2024 - 18:32
          +1

          But with the gearbox you can ride along at 5000+ rev and spend more time at higher HP. Where as you are at the mercy of the CVT rollers and pulley plates which are not really adjustable, designed to get you efficiency. Completely different IMO.

          Anyway. Safe riding guys!

          • rooster7777 on 09/07/2024 - 19:47

            @hippo2s: well….
            maximum power of a postie ct110 is 7 1/2HP @ 7500 rpm
            maximum power of the dios 110 is 8HP @ 8000 rpm, with peak torque @ 5250
            they are both air cooled, but I'd expect the later technology (dios) engine to be more effective and efficient than the ole postie dinosaur.
            My guess is that neither engine would survive long on a highway at peak HP revs (if the postie bike could reach those rpm in 4th (top) gear, or the cvt could hit those revs)
            If we use the old rule of thumb of 3/4 throttle or 3/4 max rpm, then things become more balanced. I don't know the ct110 postie peak torque rpm, but 3/4 peak on the dios is 6K, not far above peak torque.
            If I was designing a vehicle with CVT, a bit above peak torque is where I'd target the CVT effective ratio, for peak efficiency.

            All the best, and as time goes by if you can't stay upright any longer…. maybe a trike is the thing for you

            • hippo2s on 10/07/2024 - 17:49

              @rooster7777: Agree with comment neither engine wouldn't survive long at peak load. Early on my riding life i blew a 10 cent coin size hole on the piston face of my Yammy Aerox 50cc 2 stroker soon after coming off the freeway doing 70km/h (full throttle) for about 5 min.

              I do want one of them BRP Can-am trike!

              • rooster7777 on 10/07/2024 - 20:49

                @hippo2s: nodsnods.. air cooled 2 strokes and full throttle = hole in the piston pretty easily. I guess if they are jetted a bit rich they might survive, but they don't come like that. Four strokes are a lot less susceptible to holing pistons, but anything can happen (haven't had any 4 stroke holed pistons, but 2 different bikes seized)
                but… as eric burdon said more than once…Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood!
                I wasn't talking about those awful dual front wheel critters! I mean… I can see how they might save some embarrassments I've seen, where after a few cleansing ales a pilot forgets to put their foot down at the stoplight. That's a hard one to live down….but honestly I reckon I'd rather do that than be caught on a canam dually.
                I was talking old school horrible handling, but plenty of room dual rear wheel trikes, with all the class and power of a turbocharged flat 4 errr volksy.
                Sit yourself in seat that's like an armchair, GPS on the back of the screen, cuppla girlies behind you on the bench seat with the dog, esky to your right, boom box to your left, wind blowing through your hair (if you have any left by that stage), maybe the camper trailer or the party barby on the towball! ahem.

      You have to overcome a $3600 capital cost and $400 or more rego in some states while using 1/3 of the fuel of an efficient car.

      You have to drive many thousands of Km per year in the scooter to overcome that disadvantage.

      If you already own the car the cost to do those km is only the fuel.

      Plus scooters wear out much quicker than cars, the tire cost would be many times more.

      Finally riding a scooter, when you own an efficient car, thousands of KM to save some money is dangerous.

        Biggest saving is time, particularly around city, inner suburbs and beaches. I spent no time or effort looking for parking, and in most councils it is also free. Also time savings when filtering through rush hour traffic.

        Limited value for a scoot outside Inner/East Sydney and maybe Inner Melbourne IMO though.

    Its a shame that Australia gets looked down by Honda when it comes to motorcycles. They don't stock even half of the range they have in Asia. The NSC110 Dio is highly outdated + overpriced and truly belongs to the last decade. No one in Asia would even consider this model let alone consider this. I was astonished by the range of motorcycles they had in India and Indonesia when I went there. They have at least 4-5 scooters just in the 110cc - 125cc range. We are being sold decades old stuff while other countries get truly modern scooters be it looks, engine or features.

      You have it wrong, it's not Honda JP that looks down on down under. It's Honda Aus chooses not to bring in those models. The factory would love to supply them, but it's the local branches that doesn't feel like it will sell well enough to justify the import, market size, profit margin, marketing, servicing training, parts supply, regulatory safety approvals for it to be worth while. It's not just bringing the bike. There's more to it than just the physical bike.

      It's the same with Toyota. They abandoned models like Tarago because the local branch doesn't want to compete in MPV range, giving rise to Oddesey and Carnivals.

        Kinda went the same as Mazda, bunch of cars and SUV that are just 2cm longer then each other. Pretty sad, could see the Toyota Noah hybrid selling pretty well at 50k for example.

    Bought my Yamaha beewee125 10 years ago for $2999 rideaway , now I could sell it around the same price according to the listings on bike sales.

    CTP plus rego are under $300 in NSW, less than $10 on each service if you do it yourself .

    Had one if these, good scoooter. 90kmh is fast as it reliably goes. Good around town except no full face under seat.

    Address is probably better, the old 110 havent ridden the 125
