Overview

Introducing the 2008 Italjet Formula 50 Air Cooled, a spirited scooter that seamlessly blends style and functionality, making it an ideal choice for urban commuting and leisure riding alike. With its compact dimensions and eye-catching design, this scooter stands out in the crowded 50cc market, appealing to both novice riders and seasoned enthusiasts seeking a reliable and agile ride. The Formula 50 AC, as it is sometimes referred to, is a testament to Italjet's commitment to innovation and performance, offering a unique riding experience that is sure to turn heads. At the heart of the Formula 50 is a lively 49cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine, which is designed to deliver an exhilarating performance while maintaining economical fuel consumption. This powerplant, equipped with a carburettor and electronic ignition, provides quick acceleration and a responsive throttle, making navigating city streets a breeze. The air-cooling system ensures the engine runs efficiently, while the automatic gearbox and centrifugal-automatic clutch allow for effortless shifting and a user-friendly riding experience. This scooter's lightweight frame, at just 90 kg (198.4 pounds), enhances agility, making it easy to maneuver through traffic or tackle tight corners with confidence. The Formula 50 Air Cooled is packed with features that elevate both comfort and convenience. Its front S.I.S. suspension with adjustable pre-sprung torsion and a hydraulic shock absorber at the rear deliver a smooth ride, absorbing bumps and imperfections in the road. The combination of a single disc brake at the front and a drum brake at the rear provides reliable stopping power, ensuring safety on every ride. A generous 10-litre fuel tank allows for extended journeys without the need for frequent refueling, while the choice of vibrant color options, including chequered patterns, adds a dash of personality to your commute. Riders will appreciate the dual starter system, featuring both electric and kick options, ensuring you’re always ready to hit the road. **
