When you want the revs, they're there.
There's no clutch drag, and shifting
without a clutch was no p!oblem.".

"1 could fly across the rough stuff
really smooth and couldn't feel any
flex anywhere. It has a good top end
and no low end, but I'm used LO a 400.
The rear brake was good and the
clutch worked easily. I could whip out
of the turns quick, the front
suspension was good. I've never ridden
a Maico before. but it felt good really
quick. The gears are real smooth. and
it felt like I was riding on a foam

"What beautiful suspension! I ran
over a rock a foot high and didn't even
feel it! It really comes on quickly, but
yoil could lug it or buzz it out. It still
retained a smooth mid-range. I barely
touched the clutch and it disengaged.
Shifting was smooth with or without.
the clutch. The brakes are good
quality. It's a simple machine, not
cluttered with nuts. bolts and hoses."
There's what some of the guys you
might be racing against thought about
the Maieo. Sift through the info and
make a decision. No, the Maico isn't
for everybody. It'll give you back only
what you put into it. Take a Maieo 250
Mega E, stir in a regular maintenance
schedule, sprinkle with a consistent
riding style, ana you probably have
created a dish that'll make winning a
piece of cake!
