Overview

Introducing the 2016 Hartford Neko 100, a nimble and stylish scooter designed for urban commuting and casual rides. Hailing from Taiwan, the Neko 100 is an excellent option for riders seeking a reliable and efficient machine without the bulk of a traditional motorcycle. With its sleek lines and compact dimensions, this scooter easily weaves through city traffic, making it a practical choice for both new and seasoned riders alike. At the heart of the Neko 100 lies a robust 106cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers an impressive blend of performance and efficiency. This powerplant boasts a compression ratio of 10.5:1 and utilizes a fuel injection system, ensuring a smooth throttle response and a commendable fuel consumption rate of just 2.46 liters per 100 kilometers (or approximately 95.62 miles per gallon). Coupled with an automatic gearbox and a belt final drive, riders can enjoy a worry-free experience, focusing more on the road ahead rather than gear changes. The scooter's lightweight design—tipping the scales at only 96 kg (211.6 pounds)—combined with its double periscope front suspension and twin-shock rear suspension, offers a comfortable and stable ride over various road conditions. The Neko 100 is not just about performance; it’s also packed with features that enhance the riding experience. With an electric starter, you can effortlessly fire up the engine with a push of a button, while the ample fuel capacity of 5 liters allows for longer rides without frequent stops at the pump. Available in classic black and white color options, it’s designed to appeal to a wide range of riders. Safety is also a priority, as evidenced by the reliable expanding drum brakes at both the front and rear, ensuring adequate stopping power in urban environments. **
