The Voge 500 AC is a well-made machine with which you are very quickly familiar and with which you can have a lot of fun. It is extremely accessible and, thanks to the seat geometry, is suitable for many driver sizes. The handling is easy and manoeuvring the bike is easy.The look with the short rear should appeal to younger A2 aspirants and also in terms of equipment and price, the Voge 500 AC does not have to hide from the competitors . It will be interesting to see what other bikes Voge will send on Europe's roads.
