The Siena is perfect for those wishing to get around town and take care of their daily tasks, go joyriding, and even get to work a bit down the highway. The Siena 150 can even endure fun road trips where riders just want to get out and enjoy the open road; however, the Siena may not be the best choice for a consumer looking for consistent long range high way travel or higher speed roads that contain multiple inclines. Remember, getting the right size scooter to the customer will exponentially increase their satisfaction, and in the 150 cc market, a Siena 150 is sure to satisfy them.

That is correct; you will feel stable sailing at top speeds of 55-60 MPH with no worries. Even when it comes to stopping the Siena has no problems due to its front and rear disc brakes’ ultimate power. All of this wonderful practicality; however, is still no match for luxury, of which the Siena 150 has plenty of as well.

The Siena 150 is a luxurious scooter allowing for maximum comfort during the ride. First the seat must be mentioned: at 29.6" it is accessible, extra thick and padded, and ergonomically sculpted for extreme comfort during extensive rides. The Siena 150 seat also comes ready to handle a passenger. The passenger on this stylish scooter will feel confident in its driver due to his/her insight in purchasing a unit with a passenger back rest and foldable passenger foot rests specially positioned for the passenger. The Siena 150 also solves the issue of hassling with carry on items during the ride and excess riding gear after the ride by coming stock with a matching storage trunk that locks, and this only adds to the already ample storage space under the Siena’s luxurious seat.

In terms of today’s market, the Siena 150 can be compared to the popular Vespa S 150. Both of these scooters have are 150 cc, 4-stroke units with an amazing vintage look; in fact, many of their specifications match up! The Siena, however, does beat out the S 150 with its stock matching trunk for extra storage, large 12" wheels for stability, definitive colors for personalization, and a two year limited warranty.
