Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2009 Cargobike AS125, a unique blend of utility and style that redefines the concept of urban mobility. Positioned within the scooter category, this model is a French modification of the popular Aprilia SportCity, designed to cater to urban riders who require a practical solution for both commuting and cargo transport. With its robust build and thoughtful design, the AS125 is perfect for delivery services, small businesses, or anyone needing a reliable two-wheeler that doesn’t compromise on performance or aesthetics. At the heart of the Cargobike AS125 lies a spirited 125cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a commendable 14.75 horsepower at 9500 RPM. This power is complemented by a maximum torque of 11.00 Nm at 8250 RPM, ensuring that riders experience responsive acceleration and smooth power delivery throughout their journeys. The engine's liquid cooling system helps maintain optimal performance even during prolonged rides, while the automatic transmission paired with an automatic centrifugal clutch makes for effortless handling, especially in city traffic. With a power-to-weight ratio of 0.0997 HP/kg, the AS125 is agile enough to weave through congested streets while still offering a stable and comfortable riding experience. The Cargobike AS125 isn’t just about engine performance; it brings a host of features designed to enhance convenience and practicality. The double tube single cradle frame, constructed from high tensile strength steel, ensures durability while keeping the motorcycle lightweight at just 148 kg. Its hydraulic telescopic front fork and adjustable rear shock absorbers offer a smooth ride, regardless of road conditions. With a generous cargo capacity of 150 liters and a load limit of 80 kg, it’s perfect for transporting goods or running errands around town. Riders will appreciate the electric starter, user-friendly controls, and the option of sleek color choices in grey, black, or silver, making the AS125 not just a functional vehicle but also a stylish companion. **
