With a fuel tank capacity of 5.30 liters, this scooter allows for longer rides without frequent refueling stops. The seat height of 765 mm ensures that riders of various heights can comfortably plant their feet on the ground. Safety is prioritized with reliable drum brakes at both the front and rear, providing adequate stopping power for urban riding. The Activa is available in a striking red color, making it a standout choice on the road. Additionally, for those seeking a touch of luxury, a deLuxe version offers upgraded features and finishes. **
