Almost 11 HP plus generous torque enable the Sportcity One 125 to cruise effortlessly on fast main roads without exceeding the power limit permitted to holders of a B class licence (Italian legislation). Thanks to the Sportcity One’s light weight, the 125 cc engine offers miserly fuel consumption as well as giving a top speed of 90 kph and the ability to tackle all traffic conditions.
The Sportcity One 50 offers an extremely economical solution for city centre mobility, running for over 40 km on one litre of fuel.
