Introduction
Model Description
The model "Aprilia - Sport City One 50 (2-Stroke, 2010-2011, ZD4SBA00)" is a compact scooter produced by the Italian manufacturer Aprilia between 2010 and 2011.
It belongs to the Sport City One series, characterized by a blend of urban functionality and sporty design.
This model series was developed to meet the needs of city commuters looking for a lightweight, agile vehicle with a dynamic appearance.
The Sport City One 50 with its 2-stroke engine is particularly aimed at riders operating a 50 cc vehicle in the AM license class or similar categories.
Development and Market Positioning
The Sport City One series was first introduced in 2008, marking an important step in Aprilia's efforts to capture the market for smaller scooters.
The Sport City One 50 (2-Stroke, 2010-2011) is part of the second phase of this model family, further developed based on the original Sport City platform.
While the early models of the Sport City series, like the Sport City 125, were available from 2004, the "One" series introduced a more compact and cost-effective variant from 2008.
The focus was on a simplified design and adaptation to the needs of younger riders or beginners.
With its production period from 2010 to 2011, the ZD4SBA00 falls into a period when Aprilia expanded the 50 cc class to remain competitive in Europe, especially in countries with strict licensing regulations.
