Positioned for urban commuters and weekend wanderers, the Retro stands out in the crowded scooter market with its unique blend of style and functionality. With a nod to retro design influences, this machine offers a refreshing alternative for riders who appreciate both nostalgia and practicality. Available in a delightful palette of colors—ranging from vibrant red to sleek metallic blue—this scooter is as much a statement piece as it is a reliable mode of transportation. At the heart of the E-Tropolis Retro lies a robust 150cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a spirited 9.80 horsepower. This power plant provides a top speed of 104.6 km/h (65.0 mph), making it well-suited for urban environments and short highway jaunts alike.

The E-Tropolis Retro is packed with features that enhance the riding experience. Its suspension system, featuring a Kymco front dual shock and a rear mono shock, offers a balanced ride that absorbs bumps and imperfections in the road. The scooter's braking system includes a single disc brake at the front and a reliable drum brake at the rear, providing confident stopping power in various conditions. Adding to its user-friendly design, the Retro comes equipped with both electric and kick start options, ensuring that you'll never be left stranded. With a fuel capacity of 7.57 liters (2.00 gallons), this scooter allows for extended rides without frequent stops at the pump, making it an ideal companion for both daily commutes and leisurely rides. **
