The Torpedo is great for commuting, and it will get you noticed thanks to its retro good looks. Its bigger wheels make it easier to control and more comfortable to ride than smaller wheeled scooters. Its riding position has been ergonomically designed with the above average mileage rider in mind.

This two-stroke model is a cost effective scooter, which is economical to run and maintain. Its innovative two stage catalytic converter keeps emissions to a minimum. Its big wheel design offers improved handling and stability.

What Bike? Summer 2001 says: "The large wheels give phenomenal balance at low speeds making traffic and CBT manoeuvres a piece of tiramisu... the poise of the machine inspires confidence straight away."

Which Scooter? says: "The switchgear is comprehensive and includes a headlamp flasher. The lights are among the best I've encountered on a 50cc machine with an excellent beam from the large headlamp. Whoever designed the riding position gets a big bowl of tagliatelli carbonara from me. Although at first glance the footboard looks small, it's easy to find a comfortable position. The handlebars won't clout your knees either while the pliant suspension soaks up the bumps without any harshness or bottoming out."
