Technical Overview
2008 Cargobike AS 125 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Cargobike's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2008 Cargobike AS 125 utilizes a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 14.8 HP (10.8 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11 Nm (8.1 lb-ft) at 8,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox. With a specific output of 118.4 HP per liter and a 1,250 rpm working window between peak torque (8,250 rpm) and peak power (9,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the AS 125 measures 148 kg (326 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (10 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams.
