The engine with fuel injection from Delphi is good for 11 hp output at 7,300 rpm. There is an optional remap and exhaust system upgrade which will reportedly push the power figure to a claimed 15 hp.

The scooter rides on double hydraulic preload-adjustable shock absorber with coil spring with anti-dive linkage system on the front. The rear employs a coil spring with adjustable preload up to four positions. The 12-inch alloys are shod with 110-section front and 120-section rear Pirelli Angel Scooter tubeless tyre.
