2025 Metropolitan
49cc fuel-injected engine
Reliability is key in urban mobility. We fitted the Metropolitan with a liquid-cooled 49cc four-stroke engine with fuel injection. It’s quiet, economical, and super reliable.
V-Matic automatic transmission
With the Metropolitan, you twist the throttle and go. It’s that simple. The multi-speed automatic transmission means there is no shifting—not even into park or neutral.
22-liter underseat storage
Ample storage is a great feature for city commuting. We gave the Metropolitan a spacious under-seat storage area that can accommodate a helmet, books, or groceries. The storage area is weather-resistant and locked.
Eco-friendly, urban-ready
