Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2005 Genuine Scooter Stella, a charming blend of classic scooter aesthetics and modern functionality that has captured the hearts of urban riders and enthusiasts alike. This scooter is not just a mode of transportation; it's a statement piece that embodies the spirit of freedom and adventure. With its retro design reminiscent of the iconic Vespa lineage, the Stella stands out in the crowded scooter market, appealing to those who appreciate both style and substance. Whether you're navigating through city traffic or cruising along coastal roads, the Stella promises a unique riding experience that’s as enjoyable as it is practical. At the heart of the Stella is a robust 150cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that delivers a spirited 10 horsepower at 5,500 RPM. This powertrain isn't just about numbers; it translates into an exhilarating ride that can reach top speeds of 88.5 km/h (55 mph), making it ideal for both commuting and leisurely weekend jaunts. The engine's design features a compression ratio of 9.0:1 and a carburetor fuel system, ensuring responsive acceleration and a delightful engine note that only a two-stroke can produce. With a 4-speed gearbox and a multiplate oil bath clutch, shifting is smooth, allowing for an engaging riding experience. Plus, the impressive fuel efficiency of 2.35 liters per 100 km (over 100 mpg) means you can spend less time at the pump and more time enjoying the ride. Beyond the engine, the Stella boasts a well-thought-out design, combining a pressed steel monocoque frame with helical spring and hydraulic dampers for both front and rear suspension. This setup ensures a comfortable ride while maintaining excellent stability and handling. The braking system includes a reliable single disc brake at the front and a mechanical drum brake at the rear, providing confidence in stopping power. With a seat height of 820 mm and a ground clearance of 159 mm, the Stella is accessible for a wide range of riders. Additional features like electric and kick start options, along with a selection of vibrant color choices—including Red, Ice Mint Green, and Tangerine—allow riders to express their personality and style. **
