Design , Ride Quality
LCD Panel, Braking
Simple would be best to describe the design of Primus. It is well-proportionate and does look like another conventional scooter. The company has played it safe with the universally-appealing design language. The build quality is fairly decent, but I had a few issues with the side mirrors getting loose despite their technician tightening them. I was impressed with the paint quality of the Primus, especially the Royal Orange of my test scooter.
Primus gets an LED unit for the headlamps, whereas the turn indicators and tail lamps get a Halogen unit. On the side, you will notice a high flat floor and, more prominently, the cover on the mid-mounted motor driving rear wheels via belt-drive transmission. Primus rides with 12-inch alloy wheels and gets tubeless tyres. The boot space of 22 litres is adequate enough to carry a half-face helmet easily.
Primus gets a small LCD unit that displays essential information like speed, battery charge, distance to empty and efficiency. The system needs a bit of improvement. The test unit I rode had a glitch as it was inconsistent and inaccurate with data, but I hope the company will fix this issue soon. Moreover, the display is a bit difficult to read under bright sunlight. Primus also has Bluetooth connectivity, which I could not test during my first impression ride.
