3 Answers
ns110r and ns110i differences are introduced as follows: Different transmissions: The Four Ruiyu 110 is equipped with a hydraulic automatic transmission (AT), while the NS110R is equipped with a mechanical continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Different engines: The Ruiyu 110 has a 1.5L VCM-V6 engine, while the NS110R has a 1.8L Earth Dreams Technology engine, paired with the new hybrid system i-DCD. Different wheel sizes: The original tire size for the 110 is 225/50R17, paired with Michelin's ultra-high-performance Pilot Super Sport tires, while the NS110R's original tire size is 235/35R19, also paired with Michelin's ultra-high-performance Pilot Super Sport tires.
I remember comparing the NS110i and NS110R when considering buying a scooter before. For me, the main differences were in appearance and convenience features: the NS110i is the base model with a simple and affordable design, suitable for daily commuting and priced lower; the R version has a sportier look and comes with a smart key system, allowing one-touch ignition and locking, which is much more convenient. Both models share essentially the same engine, a 110cc water-cooled eSP engine with idle stop technology, offering fuel efficiency and reliability, with a riding fuel consumption of around 2L/100km, making it quite efficient for city rides. In actual riding, the differences are minimal—the R version has a slightly softer seat for more comfort and better stability in turns. If you're on a tight budget like I was, the NS110i is sufficient, but if you prefer a more tech-savvy feel, spending a bit more on the R version is a good choice. In terms of maintenance, parts are easy to find, oil changes are straightforward, and regular servicing is key to extending the scooter's lifespan—safety first, after all.
As a rider who has tried several small scooters, the core performance of the NS110R and NS110i is similar, but the R version upgrades in details: the same 110cc engine with about 6.5 horsepower, but the R's suspension is tuned stiffer for more stability in high-speed turns, no wobbling; the wheel design is cooler, and the LED headlights provide peace of mind at night. The biggest difference is that the R comes with keyless ignition and combined braking, responding immediately when you hit the throttle, making it much safer. The 110i has a manual key, simple and suitable for short urban commutes to save money. Both are fuel-efficient, with a full tank lasting hundreds of kilometers, and shared maintenance parts keep costs low. If you're considering buying, don't hesitate to go for the R version—spend a bit more for daily convenience, and your friends will say it looks cool when you ride out. In short, choose the one that fits your riding scenario, and don't underestimate how these differences can enhance your riding pleasure.
