The Fazzio is a new scooter that was introduced in 2021 and has been rapidly gaining popularity since. It's affordable, loaded with technology, and is fantastic at hauling things around, making it an easy recommendation for everyone. It caters to a wide range of riders, but can be considered a jack-of-all-trades, master of none.

The Fazzio has a modern take on a classic design, looking like a cross between a Vespa and a Scoopy. I'm not a huge fan of this design, as it looks - and feels - a little cheap to me. It comes in a number of bright colors, but I find the darker one make it look a little more premium.

The standout feature of the Fazzio is its spaciousness and ability to comfortably carry loads of stuff. Despite not being a particularly large scooter, it provides tons room, especially in the front. Even as a 6'3 person, I find it comfortable to ride this scooter as I don't experience any banging against my knees or need to use the dreaded V-legs-out stance to fit. It's way better in this regard than any other open-front scooter I've tried, such as the Scoopy, Lexi, and Vario. It is relatively tall, however, so shorter riders may have some issues getting on and off it.

Yamaha started with a blank slate when designing this scooter, giving them a chance to borrow the best design touches of other scooters and introduce some of their own. It features a front bag hook with a carabiner clip that helps secure your bags. There's an additional second hook located under the driver's seat, which lets you use both simultaneously as an extra tie down or to attach two bags. The front space is big enough to accommodate both a large and small bag under your feet, which is something I have not been able to comfortably do on other scooters.

The front pockets of the Vario are not particularly useful, as the water bottle pocket is too small for larger bottles and the closable compartment is awkward to open and close and doesn't offer much space; it does include a 12-volt adapter for phone charging, however, which is a nice touch.

The storage compartment under the seat is generous, but has an awkward shape. I can easily fit a backpack with a 13-inch laptop - a rarity in the scooters I've used - but I struggle to fit my helmet without making the seat bulge.

Fazzio has plenty of spots to accept attachments, such as side rails, front storage racks, and back rests and storage racks. It's biggest strength is the ability to carry tons of stuff in all sorts of ways. The seats are also spacious, allowing two people to ride comfortably. The fact that Yamaha has managed to do this in a small and lightweight machine is really remarkable.

The headlights of the Fazzio are solid, with the low beams providing a clear view of the surroundings and the high beam projecting well ahead. They are among the best I've used, although it's worth mentioning that modern LED scooter headlights from 2019 onwards are all great and offer similar performance.

The front of the Fazzio houses a large digital screen that shows speed, fuel level, a clock, odometer, trip distance, and signals. The speedometer is easy to read even at high speeds or on bumpy roads. The buttons have a good feel, and the stop-start function works well, likely due to its hybrid engine. It comes with a Bluetooth module that allows you to connect your phone to it; when you do, the scooter will show your phone's battery life and message notifications and let you see your RPM and trip data on your phone. I find this feature to be more of a gimmick, however. I connected it once out of curiosity and haven't used it since. All trims of the Fazzio come with keyless remotes, allowing you to start the scooter and open the storage compartment without taking the key out of your pocket.

The Fazzio is the only scooter I've seen claiming to have a hybrid drive. This is a very mild hybrid, with the starter motor providing additional power to move forward from a standstill. Although I haven't noticed any impact from the hybrid, I must admit that it feels pretty powerful given its small 120cc motor, and I haven't felt the need for a more powerful engine; that hybrid may be effective after all.

Fuel efficiency isn't great, unfortunately. It has a 3-liter tank and can cover approximately 175 kilometers on a full tank, which is on the low side. It does accept lower octane fuel, however, so it's a pretty cheap machine to run.

Parking the Fazzio is very easy due to its small size and light weight, making it great for beginners or crowded areas. The back can be easily lifted and moved if needed. The use of flimsy-feeling plastics likely helps with its light weight, but does give it a cheap feel.

The handling is decent but not exceptional. It's fast enough that you will not be wanting for performance, but that performance doesn't stand out in the same way as the NMax or Vario 160. The brakes work well but are not extraordinary. The scooter feels slightly top-heavy, making it a little awkward to maneuver at times. Compared to the Yamaha NMAX, which feels like a powerful long-distance cruiser, or the Vario, which offers nimble and sporty handling, the Fazzio can be best described as great at getting the job done. Practicality seems to have been the driving factor in its design.

The most impressive thing about the Fazzio is its price. The lower trim model can be found for 21 million rupiah and the higher trim lux model goes for 22 million, positioning Fazzio at the lower end of the market. Both models come come with the same features and hardware, with the lux model getting a slightly more premium looking paint and leather seats. Considering its features and versatility, there's no comparable option available at this price range. It's an incredibly easy recommendation. After riding a half dozen different models of scooter, I personally chose to purchase the Fazzio, and I'm very happy with my decision.
