MSRP:
$2,899*
Our increasingly congested world is crying out for vehicles capable of
beating urban traffic with speed, style and elegance. Almost by
definition, the scooter is the ideal urban vehicle. And over the years the
scooter has evolved to cater for changing needs. The latest design trends
emphasize practicality, safety, agility and economy, with a flair for
fashion and style.
Now, thanks to the Sportcity One you can save money without having to
scrimp on comfort and technology. In fact, you still benefit from a superb
design based on quality and practicality. Aprilia's Sportcity range
re-interprets the concept of the high wheel scooter. The Sportcity stands
out for its unique style and its ability to offer safety, fun and economy.
Aprilia's
recipe has obviously gone down well with the public, given the excellent
sales figures achieved. Now the Sportcity family is bigger than ever
thanks to the introduction of the Sportcity One 125. The Aprilia Sportcity
One 125 has all the features that made its "big sister" so popular but
offers an even better quality to price ratio. Original and unmistakable,
the One is a truly modern scooter and a worthy addition to the Sportcity
range. With the same elegant design and sporty personality that made the
range so popular, the Sportcity One 125 stands our for its rational and
practical character. The Sportcity One 125 is Aprilia's offer to riders
in search of a scooter that is not only fashionable but easy to ride too.
The Aprilia Sportcity One is safe, agile, and able to beat city traffic in
comfort and style - and with negligible running costs. This king of the
metropolitan jungle is designed precisely as an everyday, urban commuter
and just loves to nip through city traffic. The Sportcity One uses
advanced technology to reduce costs (both purchase cost and running costs)
and to deliver exciting performance. Even the standard equipment is
impressive.
DESIGN: A TRUE SPORTCITY
With its decisive, simple yet distinctive lines, one glance is enough to
see that the One is a true Sportcity. The compact yet protective front
shield, generous seat, passenger grab handles and flat platform all
compress maximum spaciousness into minimum space. Neither does the
Sportcity One's essential design stop it offering one of the best
under-seat storage compartments in its class, with enough room for a full
face helmet.
Thanks to an exceptionally rational design and clever use of space, the
Sportcity One gives you all the benefits of a prestige large wheel scooter
at an unrivalled price. The Sportcity One's quality to price ratio is
simply the best on the urban scooter market.
Compact size, comfort and practicality have always been winning features
of the Sportcity range. Now, on the Sportcity One, they are taken to the
logical next step. Superbly agile, the Sportcity One is the perfect
antidote to traffic despite its spaciousness and comfort. Its generous,
anatomically shaped seat offers plenty of room for rider and passenger.
Its flat platform also provides ample space for bulky objects.
The passenger grab handle is ergonomically shaped. And the complete but
rational instruments deliver all the information you could possibly need,
in a clear and intuitive manner.
CHASSIS
Designed for maximum rationality, the Sportcity One's frame is a
classical open cradle frame in high strength steel tube. Thanks to careful
engineering, this frame delivers excellent rigidity and gives a
confidence-inspiring ride and an excellent level of active safety.
With 32 mm stanchions and a wheel travel of 85 mm, the hydraulic fork
effectively smoothes out even the roughest road surfaces.
As with all scooters of the type, the engine-transmission assembly acts as
swingarm and is damped by an adjustable shock absorber. A particularly
generous wheel travel of 84 mm (one of the best for this category of
scooter) achieves a smooth ride even on uneven and damaged road surfaces.
To keep the Sportcity One as compact as possible, 14 inch wheels have been
combined with generous tubeless tires (120/70 at the front and rear).
Combined with the excellent frame, this suspension and wheel system gives
the Sportcity One excellent stability and a truly intuitive ride that
anybody can enjoy. A powerful 220 mm front disc with a two-piston floating
caliper, plus a dependable 140 mm rear drum mean instant stopping.
THE ENGINE
A modern and ecological four stroke 125cc engine makes Sportcity One 125
nippy in traffic as well as safe and comfortable. Thanks to advanced
design and ultra-efficient combustion, this engine is sporty, clean
running, and impressively economical to operate. Simple design means
robustness and reliability too. The
engine features forced air cooling and a carbureted fuel system. It is
equipped with a catalytic converter and conform to Euro 3 standards.
Almost 11 HP plus generous torque enable the Sportcity One 125 to cruise
effortlessly on fast main roads. Thanks
to the Sportcity One's light weight, the 125 cc engine offers miserly
fuel consumption as well as giving a top speed of 55mph and the ability to
tackle all traffic conditions.
