noise level between the two

Hi, can any of you comment on the noise level of a Stella vs the Buddy? I am debating between the two but am worried about the stella being much louder the Buddy. Thanks in advance.

Honda says his 4t Stella is so quiet that he keeps wondering if it died at stoplights. On the other other hand, if kept stock, a Buddy is also very quiet.

If you're looking for something that won't wake the neighbors in your quiet neighborhood, either bike will meet your needs.

They are two completely different scooters. I would suggest test riding both of them to decide which is best for you rather than choosing based on noise level. As Howard said, they are both very quiet in the stock set-up.

Thanks guys. I have a Stella on order, picking up this weekend. Can't wait.

Stella 4T is VERY quiet. It gets a little bit louder as it breaks in, but still quieter than a stock Buddy!

You are right about the Stella 4T being quite. It's quieter than my vacuum cleaner.
