C3
2012 C3
Good Things Come in Small Packages
Key Features:
- Trendy “box” design scooter accentuates cubic space—hence the name C3—while it stresses function and simplicity.
- Completely modern running gear, including a fuel-injected engine, makes this one super-economical to operate. The C3 will take you a long, long way on a single 1.2-gallon tank of gas.
- High-function features include big tires on cast aluminum wheels, a motorcycle-type fork and handlebar.
- Side-hinged, locking storage compartment swallows up to 9 gallons of gear.
- The C3 achieves fuel economy up to an estimated 115mpg* with a fuel tank that holds 1.2 gallons of gas.
Engine:
- Liquid-cooled three-valve, four-stroke engine is powerful, quiet and low-maintenance.
- Electronic fuel injection: a 19mm Mikuni® throttle body provides optimal mixture in all conditions and easy cold starts.
- The C3 will take you a long, long way on a single 1.2-gallon tank of gas.
- Fully automatic V-belt transmission provides easy, twist-the-throttle-and-go operation.
- Pushbutton electric starting (with backup kickstarter) gives ultimate ease of operation.
- The air-induction system and exhaust catalyst technology reduce air pollution.
Chassis/Suspension:
- Fat, 120/90-10 front and rear tires offer excellent traction and rugged looks.
- Large-diameter steel-tube frame provides strength, long life and great handling.
- Hydraulic motorcycle-type front fork with 2.3 inches of travel delivers a smooth ride.
- Motorcycle-type handlebar can be swapped out easily for a different bend or style.
- Unlike most scooters, the front apron turns along with the fork for style and function.
Additional Features:
- Wide, comfortable seat is only 28.9 inches from the pavement.
- The 9-gallon locking underseat storage is perfect for hauling backpacks, groceries, or whatever.
- Retro/functional style is designed for individual customization.
