Velocifero V50........

Its soft, ‘future-retro’ curvy styling, is reminiscent of the classic scooter designs of the 50’s and 60’s, yet under the skin the engineering is thoroughly modern.

A 50cc, air-cooled engine drives through centrifugal automatic transmission which means that unlike other ‘classic’ looking scooters, the V50 works on the up-to-date ‘twist and go’ principal.

Although the Velocifero may look more like a boulevard poser than a sportster, its light eight of 70kg allows the machine get up to 47mph very rapidly.

Fuel consumption is 100mpg. Retro-style features include cute looking twin headlights and tail lights, 120mm drum brakes front and rear (which have been revised for 1998 to improve braking feel) and large leg shields and footboards.

Optional extras include a classic style, full length windshield, independently sprung pillion seat, pillion footrests and a luggage rack.

For 1998, the Velocifero continues with the larger 10" wheels which replaced the original’s 8" wheels last year to provide better stability. The real briarwood dash is now covered by a perspex dome.

The Velocifero comes in a choice of 7 different two-tone colours and features electric starting, automatic lubrication, CDI electronic ignition, under seat helmet storage and luggage space, a main stand that can be used from either side of the bike, full instrumentation, tell-tale warning lights for all main functions and a 150cm Xena cable lock.
