The passenger's pedals
So you need to take a back rider passenger?
Well, he or she must put the feet somewhere...
Here are the back pedals (view from above):

Time saving machine
It's been a few weeks now that I ride my Symone to work (not all the days thou, I still have no confidence at rainy conditions).
But I can now make some analysis of the difference between riding a car and riding my Symone.
It's a really time saving machine!
I'm so glad I've decided to buy a maxi-scooter :)
Still feel like a rookie on the road, still very afraid of cars and other motorcycles, but even so I still can make better times than ever by car.
Best time ever by car, mid summer when the city was empty and didn't stop on red lights, took me some ~16 minutes. Average time by car going to work ~20m, going home ~30m .
Best time ever with Symone, in a normal day, took me 12 minutes.
Average time by scooter going to work ~16m, going home ~15m.
These results are on the "normal" conditions...
Since the start of using the scooter I've faced 5 major traffic jams...
If I've drove the car those days none of those traffic jam could be made in less than an hour.
With Symone... It's been smooth... :)

Lets talk storage #2 - secret hideout
This is a small compartment but quite handy.
It has no lock so it's no good to keep valuable stuff.
It's where I keep a simple cloth to clean up the seat from dust and humidity.
I took the photos with a tissue packet and a 50 cents euro coin to give the perception of the dimension.

Kick start
For those who might ask about it... yes, the Sym GTS 125 Evo comes with a "kick start", even if the manual said little about it :(
