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.
The
Aprilia Sportcity One conserves 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 stands our for its rational and practical character. The
Sportcity One 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. The
Sportcity One comes in a 50cc engine to cover urban mobility needs.
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 from 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 practicalityhave
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 tyres (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
ENGINES
A
modern and ecological four stroke engine makes Sportcity One
nippy in traffic as well as safe and comfortable. Thanks to advanced
design and ultra-efficient combustion, these engines are sporty, clean
running, and impressively economical to run. Simple design means
robustness and reliability too. Both engines feature forced air cooling
and a carburettor fuel system.
The
Sportcity One 50 offers an extremely economical solution for
city center mobility, running for over 24.85 miles on one liter
(.264 gal) of fuel. Light weight and a sporty engine mean zippy
acceleration at the traffic lights and take the Sportcity One 50 to its
permitted top speed in next to no time. Here is the perfect 50 for anybody
wanting a touch of class as well as full membership of the Sportcity
family.
