Built around Rieju's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2023 Rieju E-City 1.2 features a purpose-built air-cooled electric configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 1.6 HP (1.2 kW) while maximum torque reaches 110 Nm (81.1 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox.
On the scales, the E-City 1.2 measures 82 kg (181 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,308 mm (51.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
