Recently, the Internet rumors that Honda's food shopping god car LEAD 125 or will be introduced into the country, saying that Honda executives are discussing whether to introduce this car, or Fosha 125?
Emmmmm, how to say it, if you have to choose one of these two cars to introduce, I would rather Honda introduce the LEAD 125, after all, the Fosha 125 is too expensive.
However, it is not that I have the final say, but that Honda says the final word, but the Fosha 125 is indeed a car that does not need to be introduced.
At the end of the day, Fosha 125 is a product of European traffic laws and is not necessary for the country
European driver's license has a strong hierarchical control policy for motorcycles, simply put, 16 years old can ride 50cc, 17 years old can ride 125cc, 19 years old can ride a part of the small displacement motorcycle, 21-24 years old, pass a specific exam, you can ride a large displacement motorcycle.
In order to facilitate travel, many Europeans will take a most junior motorcycle driver's license, and they can ride a small displacement motorcycle. Therefore, most of the 125cc and 50cc scooters on the market are the products of the birth of this regulation, such as Sanyang's small pedals in Europe are mostly 125cc, but after going to China, it sells more 150cc.
The same is true of Fosha, and guess how much difference between the price of Fosha 125 and Fosha 350 in Europe?
The price of Fosha 125 in Europe is 5249 euros, while the price of Fosha 350 in Europe is 5999 euros, converted to RMB, the difference is only 5000 yuan, if it is you, are you willing to spend more than 40,000 yuan to buy a Fosha 125?
I don't want to, if I had already spent so much money, I would definitely choose Fosha 350. Even if CKD produces Fosha 125, its price is no reason to be cheaper than the PCX160, and even 30,000 is possible, so I don't think Honda will struggle with whether to introduce this thing or not.
The LEAD 125 is different, it is a people-friendly scooter, and in all aspects, it is very suitable for the actual needs of China's scooter users.
The needs of most scooter users in China are actually very simple, durable, front and rear disc brakes, large pedals, and large storage space. The last scooter that meets the above conditions is Honda Jiayu 110, riders jokingly call this car a turtle, in the national three period, he is a strong pedal in the ten thousand yuan level, the configuration is high, the shape is good, the space is large enough, but in the early days of the third country, the advantages of this car are gradually taken away by the Suzuki UU UY two brothers, the configuration is high, the shape is good, the space is large, although it is one aspect of the car selection, but if you can achieve the above conditions on the basis of cheap price, it is definitely better.
So Honda needs a better, more competitive product to replace the current turtle and achieve a shift in product power, and lead125 is obviously the right person.
The LEAD 125 has been overseas for more than 30 years and has been hailed as the ideal commuter pedal. Like the turtle, the LEAD 125 has a much better storage space than its peers, and Honda's unique U-BOX design gives it a 37-liter toilet capacity that can easily accommodate two full-helmets.
(The promotional image of Honda Thailand's official website is very good at how much this car can be "loaded")
The LEAD 125 engine is equipped with a Honda ESP single-cylinder water-cooled engine with silent start and idle start-stop functions. The actual displacement is 124cc, the maximum power is 8.3kw/8500rpm, the maximum torque is 11nm/5000rpm, and the curb weight is 114kg. The whole vehicle adopts the front 12 inches rear 10 inch wheel configuration, with the front disc rear drum and CBS brake system, low noise, sufficient power, light fuel consumption, 100 km fuel consumption of about 1.8L, endurance up to 300 km.
After looking at the configuration of this car, I know that there will definitely be friends who are confused, this broken thing does not even have an ABS, what use do I want it?
My view is different, I think it has to be based on the price, if Honda uses this to replace the turtle, then I don't think it is a problem without ABS, after all, the price is really put here. But if this car sells for 10,000 yuan, I still hope that he can add an ABS, after all, everyone who can spend this price to buy a scooter pays more attention to the quality of the vehicle and their own life safety. ABS may not be very useful for grocery pedals, but it can add peace of mind to extreme situations.
Otherwise, everyone can only vote with their feet and use sales to prove whether Honda's collocation is right or wrong.
