Description

It features a 49 cm³ air-cooled two-stroke engine, delivering 2.5 kW (3.4 hp). The front wheel is equipped with a single disc brake, while the rear wheel with a drum brake. It can be started with both electric and kick start.

The tank holds 6.5 liters of fuel. The engine oil is contained in a separate 1.1-litre tank and is added automatically mixed with the fuel in a ratio of 1:72. The exhaust was equipped with a catalytic converter.

Unlike most scooters, the Slider does not have a helmet compartment under the seat, but it is still possible to attach a luggage rack and a rear top case.

In 2008 it was the subject of a recall campaign due to a defect in the front brake hose. [3]
