Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2013 Cargobike AS125, a versatile allround motorcycle that perfectly marries practicality with performance. Designed with urban commuting in mind, this French-made marvel is a modification of the popular Aprilia SportCity scooter, making it a reliable companion for navigating city streets and weekend adventures alike. With a sleek design and a comfortable riding position, the AS125 is an excellent choice for riders of all skill levels looking for a lightweight, efficient machine that doesn’t compromise on style or functionality. At the heart of the AS125 lies a peppy 125cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that churns out an impressive 14.75 HP at 9500 RPM and 11 Nm of torque at 8250 RPM. This powertrain delivers a smooth, responsive ride, ideal for darting through traffic or cruising along scenic routes. The liquid cooling system ensures consistent performance, while the automatic transmission and centrifugal clutch make it incredibly user-friendly, allowing riders to focus on the road rather than the complexities of shifting gears. With a low weight of just 148 kg (326.3 lbs), the AS125 boasts an engaging power-to-weight ratio, providing an exhilarating ride while remaining nimble and easy to handle. The Cargobike AS125 is packed with features designed to enhance the riding experience. Its robust double tube single cradle frame constructed from high tensile strength steel provides excellent stability, while the hydraulic telescopic fork and rear suspension with adjustable preload settings ensure a comfortable ride on various terrains. The braking system features twin piston floating calipers at the front and opposed calipers at the rear, offering confident stopping power. Additionally, the motorcycle comes equipped with an electric starter, making it a breeze to get on the road. Riders can choose from a trio of stylish color options: Excalibur gray, Shot gray, and Moka black, ensuring that the AS125 stands out in any crowd. **
