Engineered by Aprilia for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2012 Aprilia Scarabeo 125ie relies on a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 19.7 HP (14.4 kW) at 10,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11 Nm (8.1 lb-ft) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 158.9 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (8,000 rpm) and peak power (10,000 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the Scarabeo 125ie measures 154 kg (340 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (7.82 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 810 mm (31.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,380 mm (54.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 8.5-liter (2.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
