I'm a rider to share, don't blow or talk about motorcycles.
In our previous perception, the styling and standards of scooters were very clear, but today's such models are becoming more and more "unpresentable".
If you think that crossover ADVs or keel-shaped curved beam pedals are no longer acceptable, then the Dragster300 by Itajet will be even more incomprehensible.
Because the design concept of the car will be refreshed once again, our perception of scooters has even surpassed the scope of this type of model.
The Dragster300 was first unveiled at the 2023 Inter Milan Motor Show and was recently launched in overseas markets. It is reported that there will be multiple versions of the car, and the starting price is 52726 yuan, so with reference to the displacement, the overall price is not cheap.
In fact, long before this car, Itajet launched the 200 version in the mainland market, and there will be a larger displacement of 559cc in the later stage, but its exaggerated shape did not trigger a good market share, but for players, this series of models is still quite tempting, so this 300 version should soon land in the mainland market.
In terms of appearance, forget for a moment about the homogeneous appearance and tightly wrapped structure of regular scooters, if you don't get out of this inherent perception, then you can't appreciate this Itajet 300.
In addition to the highly recognizable and aggressive front face shape, the exposed steel tube frame and multi-link structure, as well as the unique front suspension setting, are strong proof and performance of its aggressive performance.
You can say it's offbeat, but don't use ugliness to put it at bay, because it's another display of mechanical aesthetics, but it's just that it's more individual, and it's just big or small.
In terms of power, the car is equipped with a single-cylinder water-cooled four-valve EFI engine, which has an actual displacement of 278cc, a maximum power of 17.5KW, a maximum torque of 23.5N·m, and a CVT gearbox. In terms of data, compared with Japanese or Taiwanese models of the same displacement, this Itajet 300 will be inferior and does not have an absolute advantage.
In terms of bodywork, the exposed steel tube frame, multi-link structure, and more unique front suspension and steering mechanism are the biggest differences between this car and regular scooters and Japanese sports models.
Its somewhat cumbersome mechanical structure not only highlights its own differences, but also brings a different handling experience, and will also have better lightweight control (curb weight of 128kg), but this design idea may not be acceptable to loyal pedal users for a while.
In terms of equipment, the Itajet 300 will be equipped with LED light sources, TFT screen projection meters, front airbag shock absorbers, front and rear disc brakes, dual-channel ABS and TCS, etc., and will further optimize the details and adopt a new handlebar switch.
In terms of configuration, this car does not highlight too many highlights, and it is not even as rich as models of the same level, that is, a decent level that can reach the passing line, so the configuration combination is not its highlight and strength.
To sum up, the biggest attraction of this model, which is likely to be unveiled and announced at the Beijing Motor Expo, is the unique frame structure and styling, as well as the riding experience that is different from other models of the same displacement. However, its personalized and prominent style and not low-key pricing do not necessarily trigger a cult effect, it is more of a niche model with a lot of characteristics.
