Segment: Scooter
Production years: 2009, 2010
For younger riders or for those who want to try the experience of riding a scooter, but don't want to go through the trouble of applying for a licence, the Italian engineers from Vespa have launched the 2010 S 50. At its heart lies an air-cooled, two-stroke, 49cc, single cylinder Hi-PER2 lump mated to a continuous variable transmission. Small, surprisingly gritty for its class, agile as well as user-friendly, these would be the best words to describe this classic-looking Italian scooter.
