"Zodiac" - a moped for every day. It is perfect for traveling along the village streets, country roads. No wonder it is also called "Collective farmer."
Moped Review
Those who wish to purchase an inexpensive vehicle for regular trips will use the Zodiac. This moped is one of the most affordable means of transportation. But the price is far from the only plus of this technique. The model is produced jointly by Russia and China. Available in several colors (green, black, red).
It has a small scooter, even for its class. This makes it maneuverable. It gives him the opportunity to drive even through small alleys. In addition, to store the "Zodiac" does not need a lot of space. It is not necessary to build a garage for him. He will have enough corner next to the car or even a small place in the barn (or any other building).
The Zodiac is a moped with a very interesting and special seat. It consists of two parts. One for the driver, the other for the passenger. Moreover, the back seat has a "secret". It is removable. An additional trunk is hidden under it. Thanks to this, the moped has as many as two luggage compartments. The main one is on the frame, like many other models.

Next, we propose to consider the technical capabilities that the Zodiac moped possesses. Its characteristic is more than attractive. The tool is equipped with a single-cylinder four-stroke engine. The power it produces is four and a half horsepower.
The ignition is electronic. The engine starts at the expense of the starter. By the way, it can be electronic and mechanical. Four-speed manual gearbox.
The front suspension is represented by a telescopic fork. The rear consists of two shock absorbers. The drum brake system is both front and rear. Air cooling system.
Rubber on wheels has a diameter of seventeen inches.
The fuel tank is located on the frame in front of the seat, as in other mopeds. Its capacity is five liters. Maybe it's not too much. But such a volume of fuel will be enough to drive a few hundred kilometers, sitting on a zodiac moped. His engine "eats" less than two liters per hundred kilometers. Consumption is good, what to say.

The dimensions of the moped are as follows:

Owner reviews
"Zodiac" - a moped, little studied by ordinary users. There are not so many reviews about him. It’s not bad in itself. It speeds up to seventy kilometers per hour. It’s more difficult to disperse. True, if you go uphill, then you need to lower the transmission. In this regard, he is worse than the same Alpha. There are many complaints about both the operation of the engine and the assembly of the structure itself. The battery is weak, it is often changed. Welds also leave much to be desired. They are not treated with protective equipment and quickly rust.
A new moped Zodiac costs about 30-35 thousand rubles. At such a cost, it cannot be perfect in every way.
