Model HomeSpecsGalleryApparelAccessoriesModel 2009
 Key Features:
  • Old-school "box" design scooter accentuates cubic space - hence the name C3 - while it stresses function and simplicity.

  • High-function features include big tires on cast aluminum wheels, a motorcycle-type fork and handlebar.
  • Side-hinged locking storage compartment swallows up to nine gallons of gear.

 Engine:
  • Liquid-cooled three-valve, four-stroke engine is powerful, quiet and low-maintenance.
