Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2012 Clipic QT9, a nimble and stylish scooter that embodies the spirit of urban mobility. Designed with the city dweller in mind, the QT9 is perfect for navigating crowded streets and zipping through traffic with ease. Priced affordably at Euro 1290, this Spanish scooter offers a blend of practicality and performance, making it an attractive choice for both new riders and seasoned enthusiasts looking for a reliable everyday companion. With its compact dimensions and eye-catching design options—available in vibrant orange/black and sleek silver/black—the QT9 doesn't just get you from point A to B; it does so with flair. At the heart of the QT9 lies a peppy 49cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that delivers spirited performance for urban commuting. The carburettor fuel system, paired with an electromagnetic flywheel ignition, ensures quick starts and responsive acceleration, making it ideal for those quick bursts of speed when navigating busy streets. Weighing in at just 85 kg (187.4 lbs), the QT9 is remarkably lightweight, contributing to its agile handling. The automatic gearbox and chain final drive provide seamless transitions, allowing riders to focus on the road ahead without the hassle of manual shifting. The air-cooled engine keeps things simple and efficient, perfect for short trips around town while maintaining low operating costs. In addition to its impressive performance, the Clipic QT9 is equipped with features that enhance both convenience and comfort. The suspension system, featuring a hydraulic fork in the front and a monoshock absorber in the rear, absorbs bumps and potholes with ease, ensuring a smooth ride every time. Safety is a priority with the single disc front brake and an expanding drum brake at the rear, delivering reliable stopping power. Riders can choose between electric and kick start options, making it easy to get going regardless of the conditions. With a seat height of 750 mm (29.5 inches), the QT9 is accessible for riders of various heights, and the 5-litre fuel tank ensures you can cover plenty of ground without frequent stops. **
