The front gets vertically stacked projector LED headlamps mounted on the apron. There is no handlebar cowl, while the 5-inch TFT display is fixed on the front panel. At the rear, the short tail section, LED tail lamp and tyre hugger give the scooter a motorcycle-inspired look.
The scooter rides on 14-inch alloy wheels with 100/80 front and 120/70 rear tyres. It also gets 130 mm ground clearance and a 770 mm seat height.
Battery, Motor And Performance
Power comes from a mid-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor that develops 12 kW of peak power.
