Quite clearly, the way to go to beat the traffic snarl-ups is to travel by scooter. So it's good to see an ever-increasing number of these nippy little vehicles coming on to the market to suit all tastes.
One of the newest of these is the Jonway, made in China and packed with sophisticated features, like ABS braking, automatic transmission, disc brakes and a set of hazard flashers.
This sleekly designed machine is powered by a gutsy little 125cc four-stroke motor and comes with electric starter (as well as a kick-starter for emergencies) and a smooth variable-belt transmission system.
For anybody thinking of taking the sensible step from a gas-gulping car to a nippy scooter, the Jonway is about the easiest way to go.
Even a complete novice should be riding the scooter with ease after only a few minutes.
To get under way, you simply climb aboard, turn the ignition key, hold the brake lever and press the starter button. The motor purrs into life and you're ready to pull away.
For an automatic transmission, the pull-away is remarkably fast. If you give the throttle a hard twist you find yourself swinging along at 60km/h in less time than it takes to tell. This is certainly a handy feature for taking a gap in the rush-hour traffic or escaping from danger in a hurry. It's comforting to have some real torque under you when you need it.
On the open road the Jonway cruises happily at 80km/h and has a claimed top speed of more than 120km/h, which places it into the serious cruising class.
The continuously variable transmission is fascinating and very efficient. It consists of two expanding pulleys that open and close with centrifugal force.
The more power the vehicle needs, the more the pulley ratio alters to provide it. A similar system was used in the old DKW Hobby scooter many years ago, and also in the Dutch-built DAF cars.
Twist the throttle and the revs climb quickly to about 6 000rpm. Hold it there and the road speed climbs steadily without any increase in engine revs. It seems a little weird at first, listening to an unchanging engine note while the speed increases rapidly.
The Jonway provides all the convenience you're likely to need for everyday urban travel. There's a large, lockable cargo space under the seat, for example, and a smaller glove compartment in the knee shield.
If you need more carrying capacity, there's a practical luggage rack at the back, capable of holding a further 5kg of cargo.
The instrument cluster consists of a speedometer, rev counter, fuel gauge and warning lights for the high beam, oil and flasher units. All controls are logically placed within thumb's reach.
The side stand is a handy
feature for short stops - this
can sometimes be a problem
for lighter riders who struggle
to get a heavy machine on to
the centre stand.
Styling on the Jonway is quite radical, and the slanted twin headlamps lend a rakish attitude. The alloy, three-spoked wheels add a very modern look.
Being a Chinese machine, it comes with a set of sometimes baffling English instructions that make light-hearted bed-time reading: "Replace oil after stopping engine," you are advised, "pay attention not to be scold. When add up oil, please not to add up water."
And: "Don't take down sprue because of closing system."
"Forbid to make water into the air cleaner."
If there's any confusion, however, the very clear line drawings explain things better than words.
There are two Jonway models, the one I drove retails at just
R11 800. Then there's the "entry-level" model for R8 800.
You certainly get a lot of scooter for your money. I am assured by the agents, Afribike and Quad of Main Road, Fish Hoek, that all spares are readily available and in plentiful supply. If I were considering buying a first-time scooter for urban
commuting, I'd give this one
serious consideration.
