Closed EICMA 2010 with record turnout, we can not but comment on the product that all aspects: the '
E 'comment, however, still a part as that seen at the fair is once again a prototype, certainly much closer to the finished product as proposed two years ago, but still not the version that ride (hopefully) starting this summer.
We must say that the scooter is the most automobile that there is , really conceived as a second car and, as such, should be considered.
We like it. . . .
the gritty : beautiful front deck that incorporates the double wheels in the front fairing of a kind, of course, automobiles.
The track is low and the front shock absorber seen in the exhibition will then be replaced by a double arm (thus responding to the many readers who expressed doubts about the strength of the mono support! ).
The platform is lowered and, in conjunction with the leveling rear seat that allows the pilot to retreat at will, promote and satisfy even the most senior pilots (thus solving another question expressed by the readers!) .
Nevertheless 'and despite the wheelbase was significantly shortened (to the advantage of handling), the saddle has been expanded and is now a full-face helmet + 1 jet, finally releasing the boot from' space helmet (this really wonderful, that leaves the entire volume of the bauliera intact, considering, che, grazie ad un gioco stilistico, è stata aumentata la capienza di ben 8 litri , trasformando l'AD3 in un veicolo ben più capiente di una Smart !!).
Novità importanti anche nel frontale che vede sparire i montanti reggiparabrezza per favorire lo sviluppo di un guscio avvolgente e notevolmente protettivo (che probabilmente si estenderà in basso sino a riparare le gambe del pilota), da cui spuntano solamente gli specchietti retrovisori ed il tergicristallo e che culmina in alto con un riporto inspessito al quale viene fissato il tetto retrattile tipico Adiva.
Finalmente sparito l'anacronistico housing "Motorad" and two speakers mounted in the upper part of the tunnel, disappeared as the two side open pockets (now more exposed to weather), in favor of a wide peak door with a key that will certainly more useful and usable (subject to the possibility of staying the navigator on the handlebars!).
Consequently, reposition (better) some of the heating vents hands and feet to the facility which will be offered as an option (or standard in 300 cc?).
Here we are in fact the motorization (For now) only two displacements: 125 or 300 cc.
Motors are Kymco and we would like to praise this choice because the engines are concerned conceptually new, powerful and reliable scooter proposed recently by the landscape (see the sales figures and the flattering comments about the last Kymco products).
Apart from the 125 cc, produced almost exclusively for the foreign market (remember that the market share in Italy Adiva is minimal compared to the penetration of foreign markets, laws
here!), Which will still be a just enough engine for this vehicle, il
300 cc ci sembra il compromesso giusto , come avevamo già
anticipato , per fare di questo scooter un "
ognistrada " (oltre che un "ognitempo").
La strumentazione riprenderà l'ultima serie dell'AD con il cruscotto formato da 2 cilindri con gli indicatori all'interno ed il manubrio (se pur ingiudicabile in quanto incompleto anche nel prototipo), sembra rimarrà piccolo e maneggevole come piace a noi.
Ancora due parole sulle ruote che saranno da 13" le due davanti e da 14" quella dietro, con frenata ripartita e combinata su 3 dischi che sicuramente non farà rimpiangere the lack of ABS (unless it is then inserted in the list of options at the time of sale).
The price obviously is not received (due to missing nearly a year on marketing), but there are rumors about 6500 € for the 300 cc, a figure that seems very much in line as the vehicle.
We do not like. . .
for the moment the choice of the windshield without media, beautiful aesthetics and visual for the pilot, but leave us perplexed robustness especially in the items to work and more frequent (attack of the roof) and passive safety: in the windscreen pillars is the same at the time of a collision off enough support. . . What will happen with the wrapping?
is fine saddle streamlined and "modular" as the driver but a step "lumbar " distances than would be desirable, especially in medium to long!
Components: ingiudicabile at the moment is because it is just a prototype, as real as you want but still a prototype, however, we appeal to you to plastics manufacturers and assemblages also improve significantly compared to the latest versions Adiva that, in some places, showed more than a shortage.
Last
memo / request for a small but useful little accessory useful light in bauliera !
I do not know what a relief it would be for someone like me, use the trunk like a roof rack and avoid search far and wide in search of gloves and when the night is based. . course. . . it's raining!
