"Manufactured to replace the Stella"?

I resent that remark!

(Go take a test drive, Point37!)

Just saw one of these Royal Alloys on the street today. I must say it looks pretty good. Still wouldn't buy one though, engine is too small.

Has anyone on Modern Buddy bought one yet?

If anyone has it would be great to get some reviews. Most of the reviews I have read/heard were after short test rides or from less experienced riders.

I took one out for a quick parking lot spin yesterday. My brief take: it’s heavier and feels more solid than my old Stella . Longer wheelbase makes it feel smoother, better tracking, but wider turning radius. After riding my Kick around, this felt like a tank. Engine is strong and smooth, but lacks the quick pickup of my Kick. Probably best for open road touring or suburban commuting. No under seat storage but does have a rear rack.

I've got one of these, and happy to answer any questions I can. I'm in the middle of a big ramp-up myself, of trying to understand what I will and won't be able to modify on this scooter.

Engine model: 1P57QMJ

Real world MPGs and miles per tank?

I would love some updates as you put more miles on it.

I test drove one in S.F. And I really liked it. I like gy6 scooters but at 6’4” I don’t fit on any of them. I found the RA to be very comfortable. It feels a little slow off the line but I think they spec’d the roller weights a bit heavy to keep the gas mileage up. There’s a review on Scooterfile that mentions this. http://www.scooterfile.com/scooter-reviews/royal-alloy-gt150-rider-review/

There is some extra weight it’s down low and it feels good- makes it feel solid and stable. It has a really quality ride feel to it.

I hope they sell a lot of these and I plan to buy one eventually but at $4500 out the door I don’t want to be the guinea pig if the engine doesn’t hold up. The engine pivot is on the bottom of the engine so engine swaps from other gy6’s would be very limited.
