APRILIA Sportcity One 50 (2008-2009) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Aprilia Sportcity was a scooter made by Aprilia from 2004 until 2013. It belonged to the high-wheel scooter category and was also sold by Derbi from 2008 to 2013 as the Derbi Rambla.

In 2008, the maker introduced the new Sportcity range comprising two models, the Sportcity One and Sportcity Cube. The Sportcity One had more compact dimensions and two displacements, 50 and 125cc.

It was also revised in the visual department, with new colors, no more chromed profiles, a painted under-footboard, a small fairing integrated into the handlebar, revised aesthetics and buttons, and the same instrument panel as the Scaraebo Light.

The 2008 Aprilia Sportcity One 50 had its soul brought to life by a 49cc two-stroke single-cylinder horizontally-mounted engine fed by a carburetor. It delivered the power to the rear wheel through an automatic gearbox with a centrifugal dry clutch.

The scooter was made around a single-cradle steel tube frame with a 32 mm hydraulic telescopic fork on the front that provided 85 mm of travel and a single shock absorber on the rear with 84 mm of travel.

As for the braking power, the scooter relied on a 220 mm brake disc mounted on the front wheel with a dual-piston floating caliper and a 140 mm drum braking unit on the rear.
