Overview

Introducing the 2014 Hyosung Prima, a dynamic scooter that combines practicality with a spirited ride, making it an ideal choice for urban commuters and new riders alike. Priced at an accessible US$ 1799, the Prima stands out in the competitive scooter market with its unique blend of style, functionality, and affordability. Designed and manufactured in South Korea, this stylish two-stroke scooter, also known as the SF50B Prima, is engineered to appeal to those seeking a nimble and efficient mode of transportation, without compromising on aesthetic appeal. Underneath its sleek exterior lies a robust single-cylinder, two-stroke engine displacing 49cc, capable of generating 5 horsepower at 6500 RPM. This powertrain, paired with an automatic gearbox and a centrifugal clutch, ensures seamless acceleration and ease of handling, making it perfect for both city streets and suburban navigations. The lightweight chassis, tipping the scales at just 88 kg (194 lbs), combined with a power-to-weight ratio of 0.0568 HP/kg, delivers a zippy and responsive riding experience. Riders will appreciate the air-cooled engine's simplicity, which coupled with a well-tuned suspension featuring a telescopic fork in the front and a preload-adjustable mono shock in the rear, promotes a smooth and comfortable ride over varying terrain. The 2014 Hyosung Prima is loaded with features that enhance its usability and rider experience. The electric starter system ensures a hassle-free ignition, while the 4.73-liter fuel tank provides ample range for daily commutes. Safety is paramount, with a dependable single disc brake in the front and a drum brake in the rear, providing confident stopping power. Additionally, the Prima boasts a seat height of 737 mm (29 inches), accommodating a wide range of riders, and its ground clearance of 140 mm (5.5 inches) helps navigate through urban obstacles. The scooter is available in vibrant blue and red color options, further allowing riders to express their individuality. **

Pros

  • Lightweight and agile: The low weight enhances maneuverability, especially in congested urban settings.
  • Affordable entry-level option: At US$ 1799, it’s a budget-friendly scooter that doesn’t skimp on essential features.
  • User-friendly design: The automatic transmission and electric starter make it easy for new riders to operate confidently.

Cons

  • Limited power output: With only 5 HP, it may struggle on hilly terrain or during highway commutes.
  • Basic braking system: While adequate for city riding, the drum brake at the rear may not provide the same stopping power as disc brakes.
  • Small fuel capacity: The 4.73-litre tank may require more frequent refueling for longer journeys.
