along with its several sub-types. Both the 125 and 50cc variants use an EFI system which was sourced from SynerJect - originally a joint venture between the Orbital Engine Company (Balcatta, Western Australia) and Siemens - now fully owned by Continental. The EFI is a direct descendant of the "OCP" (Orbital Combustion Process) system. Where the 125cc 4-Stroke uses a conventional port injected fuel system, the 2 stroke uses the OCP fuel and compressed air injection system. In this a crank/eccentric mounted air pump is used to directly inject air and fuel into the cylinder. The EFI computers are manufactured by Philips in Europe. The 125cc throttle body is manufactured by Bing in Germany. Other components such as fuel pumps are sourced by Synerject. Brakes are disc front and rear however ABS was an option on all models. Electrics are 12V on both models.

2-Stroke. This model sold as an "unrestricted" scooter, which could reach according to the technical specification. As well, there are two "restricted" versions still on sale in Europe: for which can be driven with a B type (personal car) driving licence and a ("moped") version, requiring no driving licence at all. Until 2004, the model sold with electronic fuel injection (TSDI); afterwards, the carburettor version (C-TECH) was introduced. Both versions have separate oil tank. All engines are
