The scooter also has a very long and wide seat for the rider and the pillion to seat comfortably. The rear end has two grab rails that help the pillion to hold on tightly to the scooter.

The Haojue Lindy 125 has quite some space to carry extra baggage. The space under the seat has a large capacity. The capacity is enough to hold one full-face helmet and more. The scooter also has compartments at the front to carry miscellaneous objects such as water bottles or documents.

Physical Attributes:
The Haojue Lindy 125 is a small and sporty machine. It has a saddle height of 730mm. Which allows riders of 5’1” to comfortably ride the scooter. The leg rest at the front also has adequate space for taller riders not to feel uncomfortable. The scooter has a fuel tank of 5.8liters, which makes it unsuitable for long rides, but is adequate for the city commute.

The length, width, height, and weight of the Haojue Lindy 125 are 1895mm, 725mm, 1095mm, and 107kg. The scooter may seem quite heavy, but that is to keep the scooter grounded and to keep it stable. The scooter also has a very small wheelbase of 1225mm, which brings the question of balancing the scooter at high-speed cornering. It also has a ground clearance of merely 141mm, which makes it susceptible to most speed bumps in Bangladesh.

Engine and Transmission:
The Haojue Lindy 125 comes with an aluminum cylinder head, overhead cam, and roller rocker arm fitted engine. The engine is also air-cooled and carbureted. The engine pumps out 8.3BHP of power at 7000rpm, and 9.0Nm of torque at 6000rpm. The power is quite less compared to most 125cc scooters. But that also increases the fuel efficiency of the scooter.

Brakes, Suspensions, and Wheels:
The Haojue Lindy 125 comes with a Disc-drum setup. The front has a disc brake while the rear has a drum brake. The front disc is very small which is due to the front wheels being quite small. The rear drum brake setup may seem very backdated, but for a scooter of this capacity will have an adequate performance with these brakes.

The Haojue Lindy 125 has telescopic forks as the front suspension, whereas the rear has a single spring-loaded fork on one side of the scooter. The front suspension is expected to perform well, however the rear suspension may not have the best performance when a pillion is involved.

The Haojue Lindy 125 comes with alloy wheels. The front and rear both have 90/90 and 100/90 section tires respectively. The wheels are both 10” at the front and rear. The small wheels may cause a bit of a problem with stability. The thickness of the tires also limits the leaning of the scooter. However, for commuting these tires will work just fine.

The Haojue Lindy 125 is a forgiving machine for the experienced riders. It is not for the beginners, as the scooter is aggressive and sporty and also torquey.
