BSA Motors Smile
Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2011 BSA Motors Smile, a delightful addition to the world of electric scooters that perfectly balances modern efficiency with vintage charm. As a product of BSA Motors, a storied name in the motorcycle industry, the Smile stands out in the urban commuting category, appealing to eco-conscious riders and city dwellers alike. With its compact design and approachable aesthetics, the Smile is not just a mode of transportation; it's a statement about embracing a greener future without compromising on style. At the heart of the Smile is its efficient electric engine, producing 0.34 horsepower (0.2 kW) that propels the scooter to a top speed of 25 km/h (15.5 mph). This makes it ideal for zipping through congested city streets or cruising along quiet neighborhood lanes. The automatic gearbox ensures a smooth ride, eliminating the need for shifting gears, allowing riders of all experience levels to enjoy the open road with ease. Its air-cooled system keeps the engine running efficiently, and with a modest weight of 65 kg (143.3 lbs), the Smile is agile and easy to handle, making it perfect for maneuvering through tight spaces. When it comes to features, the BSA Smile is packed with thoughtful innovations that enhance the riding experience. The scooter is equipped with a sealed lead-acid battery that is maintenance-free, providing a remarkable range of up to 60 km on a single charge. Charging the battery takes between 6-8 hours, making it a convenient choice for daily commutes. The scooter's robust steel frame and expanding drum brakes both at the front and rear offer reliable stopping power, while the variety of color options—dark red, silver, black, and burgundy—allows riders to choose a look that suits their personality. **
