We looked at the Aprilia Sportcity One scooter as part of our ongoing scooter a day series, and here is the video for you to have a closer look. The 2010 model retains the same compact sports style of the previous models and just a couple of modifications to update it for the new year. It is available in both 50 cc and 125 cc versions, with the former in both two stroke and four stroke offerings. For more details, see our post on the Sportcity One for 2010.

The 2010 Aprilia Sportcity One, next up in our “scooter a day” mini-series, has a few updates for the new year that continue its sports style and tradition. Modifications include a new saddle finish, exhaust protection system and new panel graphics, although in essentials the Sportcity One is what is always has been.

More significant updates include new wheels and fork in gloss black finish for greater sports style and comfort. The Sportcity One is available in 50 and 125 cc, four-stroke versions, while the special Street model has a 50cc two-stroke motor. The 14-inch wheels are equipped with tubeless tyres and a front disc brake measuring 220 mm, with floating callipers and two pistons.

The Sportcity One 125 cc has nearly 11 hp and a top speed of just over 90 km/hr, while the 50 cc engine is highly economical with a range of more than 40 km on one litre of fuel. For a spicy engine and plenty of city traffic zip, the 50 cc 2T is agile and responsive, with an automatic transmission for easy handling. The Aprilia Sportcity One is available with various accessories including large windshield, New Concept 32-litre box, bag carrier and electronic alarm.

Aprilia has really worked on bringing up its family of models, and we can see an interesting evolution in the Aprilia scooter segment, with the latest addition, the Sportcity One 50 2T, showing a trend towards smaller rather than larger scooters. It will be added to the line-up of scooters with the four-stroke 125cc and 50cc engines.

The lovely and clean two-stroke engine gives a younger alternative in the large Sportcity category, with its unmistakable design, both elegant and sporty. Aprilia should also be able to offer a competitive price for the performance you get.

The secret to this model lies in its smaller dimensions, but without losing on the practicality and versatility of the Sportcity style. One feature is the larger seat, which can accommodate both rider and passenger in comfort. Below are all the details from Aprilia on its new scooter.

As we’ve done the profile on the Aprilia’s new Sportcity Cube 300, we thought we’d give you the details on the other new model, the Sportcity One. Below you can check out the technical and stylistic elements of this scooter, and go to our Sportcity One photo gallery for all the shots.

This guy is the smaller version of the more hefty Cube scooter, and is designed for a nifty urban use in city traffic (we work in Milan, we know what it’s like). Aprilia has really bet on agility and an excellent quality-price ratio in this offering. The two engine sizes, 50 and 125, give flexibility in choice for this city scooter.

On design details, Aprilia says in its press release:

With its decisive, simple yet distinctive lines, one glance is enough to see that the One is a true Sportcity. The compact yet protective front shield, generous seat, passenger grab handles and flat platform all compress maximum spaciousness into minimum space. Neither does the Sportcity One’s essential design stop it offering one of the best under-seat storage compartments in its class, with enough room for a full face helmet.
