The scooter market is full of variety. Chinese manufacturers occupy a significant share of it. Honling Caper is one of the representatives of 50 cc scooters. At its core, this is a restyling of the Honling Joker 50. It differs from its predecessor in 12-inch wheels, a double seat and the presence of a trunk.

The scooter is equipped with a four-stroke single-cylinder 139 QMB engine with forced air cooling. With its 50 cc it produces 3.5 hp, which is quite a bit with 100 kg of dry weight. Just like all scooters, a variator is installed.
The suspension is reliable, copes well with uneven roads, and the ground clearance of 200 mm and 12-inch wheels allow you to drive through defects in the road surface without fear of getting caught in the protection. There is a telescopic fork installed at the front, and a pendulum suspension with two shock absorbers at the rear.
The brakes, like for a Chinese scooter, are surprisingly grippy: the front ones are disc and the rear ones are drum.
The instrument panel is easy to read and has no frills. It accommodates a speedometer with an odometer, a fuel level sensor, turn indicators and an electronic clock. There is a small visor above it, which allows you to perfectly read information without sun glare. Since 2008, the Honling Caper 50 has been equipped with an alarm system that can not only protect against theft, but also tell the driver about the actions he performs while driving.
The design of the scooter is very unique. A large two-seater seat, combined with a slight tilt of the steering fork, provides a comfortable fit , and allows you to travel a decent distance without experiencing any particular inconvenience. The set includes a case in which you can freely put a helmet.
