The Buddy became highly popular because it delivers a strong all around package at a very fair price by a small company that cares about its scooters. All the Buddy scooters are peppy, reliable and quite affordable. Since then a number of versions have been added and prices have evolved upwards a notch, but the basic Buddy design remains intact as of The Buddy International got bumped to cc for to better differentiate it as the premium offering in the Buddy line.
The follow up to the Blackjack was the Psycho Buddy which hit the market for only. The fuel injected Buddy i also debuted for More recently, the Lemonhead Buddy 50 was introduced as a model in a limited run of For Genuine announced the limited edition Buddy Riot in both 50 and sizes. All told there has been eight variants of the Buddy:.
The 50cc Buddy scooters use a horizontal Minarelli engine. The GY6 is a globally popular design that used by a variety of makers besides Genuine such as Kymco and Znen. The and variants of this motor are reliable and powerful, while not offering quite the same fuel economy as a fuel injected, liquid cooled 4-stroke engine would. The Buddy i does benefit from fuel injection, so it typically posts the better milage than the and models despite its extra displacement. I was able to get my three-quarter helmet in there easily and still close the seat.
The Buddy does not come from the factory equipped with a rear luggage rack. The front brake is a disc grabbed by a dual piston caliper, rear braking is handled by a drum. Starting is electric only, unlike the carbureted Buddy models, the i does not have a kick-start option. The Buddy has the shortest wheelbase, the lightest weight, lowest price, and best warranty. There needs to be a fuel pump, sensors, and increased electronic engine control….
Riding Impressions. The Buddy i starts easily and quickly settles into a smooth idle. The Buddy i is smoother running and more responsive than either the or the I attribute this to the fact that the Buddy is likely the quickest scooter in its class to begin with. As displacement increases and fueling improves, there are gains but not quantum leaps.
Before I talk about the handling and braking of the i let me just say that I have been spoiled by the Buddy Blackjack. Riding on 10 inch tires with good suspension and braking, the Buddy i is nimble, responsive and easy to handle. The brakes are plenty strong enough for a scooter of this size.
Acceleration from a stand-still up to about 50 MPH is surprisingly strong. I found myself routinely zipping up to speeds rather above the posted limits on city streets just because it was such a good time. The floorboard is relatively narrow and slightly curved. The reach to the handlebars is not too long or too short. The seat is formed with space for two people and there are passenger footrests those silver-colored thing below the seat but two-up riding is not what the Buddy does best.
As long as it fits you, riding the Buddy i is fun. The Genuine Buddy i is currently available in three colors: 1. Check with your local Genuine dealer to see what they have in stock. Fit and Finish. Good Taiwanese manufacturing is as good as anything from Japan or Europe and sometimes better.
