The Aprilia Mojito 50 (model year 2004) – also known as "Habana 50" in some markets – is a stylish 50 cc scooter with a retro look. With wide handlebars, a low seat, and classic lines, it combines relaxed cruiser aesthetics with practical everyday technology.
The focus is on comfortable ergonomics, ease of use, and a confident ride in urban traffic.

Model history

The Mojito series followed the retro trend that started in the late 1990s and positioned itself as an elegant alternative to sporty-looking scooters.
For the 2004 model year, equipment details and color variants were adapted depending on the market, while the proven technical concept remained unchanged.
Typical features include cruiser-style wide handlebars, chrome accessories, and a distinctly relaxed seating position.

Technical details

The Aprilia Mojito 50 (2004, ZD4TF00) is powered by an air-cooled single-cylinder two-stroke engine with 49 cc displacement and a carburetor.
Engine performance is class-typical and depends on restrictors; the top speed of the restricted 50 cc version is around 45 km/h.
Power is transmitted via a continuously variable CVT automatic gearbox with centrifugal clutch – ideal for city traffic and stop-and-go riding.
The maintenance-friendly design and easily accessible service points simplify regular upkeep.

Chassis and brakes

The chassis features a classic telescopic fork at the front and a swingarm with rear shock absorber(s) – tuned for comfort on urban roads.
Braking is typically handled by a front disc brake and a rear drum brake; the system is user-friendly and suitable for beginners.
With a dry weight of around 90 kg, the Mojito offers neutral, forgiving handling.
Depending on the version, it runs on 10- to 12-inch wheels, supporting the laid-back cruiser feel.

Ergonomics and features

The low seat height ensures a secure stance even for shorter riders; the wide handlebars offer good control at low speeds.
Practical features like underseat storage and optional luggage racks make the Mojito versatile for daily use.
Chrome accents and classic instrumentation emphasize its vintage character.

Color options

In 2004, depending on the market, elegant solid colors and classic metallic finishes were available, often highlighted with chrome details.
Popular colors included timeless paint schemes like black, cream/beige, or dark blue; some versions featured special graphics or two-tone seats.
Whitewall tires were fitted depending on trim level, further enhancing the vintage look.
