Engine

The Lead is powered by a simple and straightforward 102cm3 forced air-cooled 2-valve SOHC single-cylinder engine that provides ample power for getting around town in a quick, quiet and economical fashion.

Its maintenance free CDI and push-button electric starter ensure quick and easy starts and smooth, reliable operation, and its exhaust port Air Induction system combines with an exhaust catalyser tube to reduce exhaust emissions to complete compliance with EURO-2 emissions regulations.

Chassis

The Lead's rugged tubular steel frame is built to stand up to considerable abuse and still keep running strong, even carrying heavy loads. Its low-deck centre backbone configuration ensures optimal rigidity for responsive and confident handling, while providing a spacious floor area for positioning one's feet.

The Lead's bottom-link front suspension provides confident handling and cornering control, and is supported by an oil damper suspension system for smoothly progressive operation that ably soaks up the bumps of the road. Its unit swingarm rear suspension uses a single spring-loaded rear damper for a plush ride and excellent long-term riding comfort.

The Lead's sturdy 10" ComCast steel wheels mount tubeless tyres and are stopped by 130mm leading/trailing drum brakes front and rear for confident braking control.

Like most scooters, the Lead has no sidestand, but can be easily tilted up and parked on its folding centre stand.
