The Austrian brand KSR is one of the biggest importers of motorcycles on the European market. It has brands you may be familiar with, such as Malaguti, Lambretta, Brixton Motorcycles and Motron. In total, KSR imports and sells more than 60,000 motorcycles every year. That said, Motron, one of the company’s brands that focuses on urban scooters, has just launched its updated model range.
For the 2023 model year, Motron has launched its selection of scooters ideal for people who want to get around town on two wheels. Motron’s selection is all about economy and functionality, and consists of four scooter models. Their scooters are made up of models that are suitable for the AM, A1 and A2 license schemes, so they are ideal for both beginners and experienced riders looking for a simple ride for urban use.
Let’s start with the Motron Ventura 125, a standard high-wheel scooter that rides on 16-inch wheels at the front and rear. Its larger wheels mean that it can travel over uneven road surfaces – such as light gravel and cobbles – with ease. What’s more, the scooter has ample under-seat storage space, bulky enough to hold an integral helmet. It has a small 125 cc engine and is equipped with a simple base, consisting of telescopic forks and double rear shock absorbers. It also has a combined braking system (CBS) for safer braking. It sells for just €2,599.
Next up, the Motron Breezy 50 is a small, sporty scooter that is technically classified as a moped. It has an even smaller 50 cc four-stroke single-cylinder engine with a fuel economy of around 45 km per liter. This means that a full refill of its small five-liter fuel tank can provide a range of up to 200 km – quite impressive considering its small size. The Motron Breezy 50 sells for just €1,699.
Motron also targets retro riders with the Ideo 125. With a 125cc single-cylinder engine, the Ideo 125 bears similarities in style to the Vespa, but of course at a lower price than the luxury Italian brand. The Ideo 125 sells for just €2,299 and is available in two colors: Rock Gray and Carbon Black.
Completing Motron’s offerings for 2023 is the Voltz, the group’s only electric two-wheeler. At just 64 kg, the Voltz is easy to ride, yet noisy enough to get you up to speed in the city. It has a 2,000-watt motor installed in the rear wheel and has a top speed of 45 km/h. Likewise, its battery has enough energy to cover 49 km on a single charge. The price? Just €1,999.
