Another feature which grabbed my attention was the key. Now, normally you put the tiny scooter key in, turn it on, hit the start button, end of story. But, with the Urban R4 you have the option to start it via the key fob. Hit a button it'll beep, hit it again and it'll start up, perfect for warming up the scooter before a ride, or more likely showing off to your friends. The key also controls the alarm and immobliser, which works well, the alarm is horribly loud and I'd advise not testing it in the confines of a garage on a quiet street. Unfortunately, the angle of the key when entered into the bike is all wrong, it sits on a strange angle which is annoying and difficult to turn. Also the key is one of those spring loaded ones, at the push of a button the key swings into place, as seen on many expensive european cars. But the problem with this high tech key is that it's been reproduced poorly, there is too much play present, and when opening the lid to fill up with gas I feel like I'm about to brake the key off in the lock. It would appear that the "standard" style keys supplied are for every day use and the flash electronic fob is mainly just for activating the alarm and amusing your friends..
