2009 Aprilia Sportcity One Street
The “coolest” side of the Aprilia Sportcity
is called: Sportcity One 50. After its debut this
summer, the Sportcity family is ready to welcome a
new member into the fold. The youngest and liveliest,
thanks to the 2-stroke engine with a power/weight
ratio second to none.
The Sportcity One 2t enriches the existing offer,
with yet another alternative in the vast Sportcity
range. It shares the same unique design as the others,
both elegant and sporty, and is sold at an extremely
competitive price considering the performance and
equipment.
Like all the other Sportcity models, the 2-stroke
One is a perfect combination of dynamic and practical
qualities, a deliberate choice in construction design
in which Aprilia paved the way to be followed by thousands
of scooter riders all over Europe.
Compact size, comfort and practicality have always
been winning features of the Sportcity range. On the
Sportcity One, they are taken to the logical next
step. Compact and 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.
Sportcity One is a scooter that stands out from the
crowd thanks to its essential nature: the perfect
vehicle to get you through traffic, with excellent
comfort and top-level equipment. In fact, thanks to
the rational design and meticulous attention to detail
in optimizing spaces, Sportcity One 2T offers all
the advantages of a modern high-wheel scooter, and
more. The seat height, at just 775 millimetres off
the ground, makes it the ideal means of transport
for female riders too.
The flat platform, the protective shield, and in
particular the under-seat storage compartment spacious
enough to take a full-face Aprilia helmet, make the
Sportcity One 50 2T the point of reference for this
price/equipment segment.
Chassis
Designed for maximum rationality, the Sportcity One’s
frame is a classical open cradle frame in high strength
steel tube. Despite the scooter’s flat platform,
its frame delivers excellent rigidity for a great
feeling on the road and provides the highest level
of 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. The 76 mm wheel travel makes easy
work of any road surface, providing a level of comfort
normally only found on larger models, also due to
the large tyres.
Thanks to this particular chassis configuration,
the Sportcity One is the perfectly combination of
spacious comfort and unique handling. Aprilia was
the first to believe in the possibility of using a
“medium-size” wheel with wide section
tyres to obtain a level of comfort and safety which
stands way above the rest.
Sportcity One 50 2T follows the road taken by its
predecessors. The 14-inch wheels with large tubeless
tyres (120/70 both front and rear), with the rigid
frame – guarantee handling that is second to
none, with excellent comfort, along with easy and
intuitive road holding, making One a scooter anyone
can handle.
A powerful 220 mm front disc (a record diameter for
its category) with a two-piston floating caliper,
plus a 140 mm rear drum mean instant stopping.
Engine
The Sportcity One 2T is a real all-round urban vehicle.
A lively 2-stroke engine – producing 4.08 HP
– makes the One 50 2T the lightest and most
agile scooter in the Sportcity range, also thanks
to the “sprinter” configuration of the
engine and the optimal automatic transmission ratios.
The Sportcity One 50 2T offers excellent acceleration,
letting you reach the maximum speed allowed by law
very quickly. The Kick starter is fitted as standard
on the Sportcity One 2T, so you’ll always be
able to start the scooter even with a flat battery.
Responsive, agile and lively acceleration, these are
the principal qualities of the Sportcity One 2T, to
get you through the traffic in the greatest safety.
The Sportcity One 2T is brilliant and cheap to own
and use.
The scooter is anything but costly, with excellent
fuel economy and enviable autonomy. This 50cc scooter
is perfect for young people who want to stand out
from the crowd, and get about town in a carefree way,
with the rest of the great Sportcity family.
