Let’s explain the news: The new NMAX TURBO has a new technology called YECVT (Yamaha Electric Continuously Variable Transmission), which replaces the conventional CVT transmission. It is this system that gives an extra push when necessary.

There is a button on the left handle to activate the turbo (Y-Shift), which can be set to 3 levels: low, medium and high. When overtaking, for example, you can activate the turbo, which will give you that extra push to go faster. Therefore, the company says that you get the ‘feeling’ of Turbo.

Furthermore, with this technology, the scooter gained 2 riding modes: T-Mode (for city) and S-Mode (sport mode). T-Mode is suitable for everyday urban use as it delivers smoother power and saves fuel. S-Mode delivers everything the bike has, and is ideal for the road.

This latest version also features the Garmin Street Cross Navigation System. There is also a USB-C socket to charge your Smartphone.

Completing the technological package are two-channel ABS, Traction Control, the Smart Key system, and the Stop & Start system (which turns off the engine when stopping at traffic lights to save fuel).

The NMAX TURBO engine is a 155 cm³ Blue Core single-cylinder, VVA, 4 Valves, SOHC + YECVT, capable of generating up to 11.3 kW (15.36 HP) of maximum power, and 14.2 Nm of torque.

Priced at a mere 7,980 yuan, roughly 1,000 euros, this scooter might not be packing the horsepower of its namesake, but it sure knows how to turn heads.

Now, before you start picturing yourself zooming past Ferraris and Lamborghinis, let’s get one thing straight: this Bugatti is a scooter, not a supercar. But hey, who said luxury had to come with a six-figure price tag?

But wait, is this even legal? Can a scooter really bear the iconic Bugatti name without raising a legal eyebrow or two? Well, considering it’s only available in China, it seems the manufacturer isn’t too concerned about trademark debates. In fact, they even playfully dub this model the “Veyron version,” a nod to Bugatti’s famed supercar.

Now, let’s talk specs. With a modest 9.2 horsepower engine and a top speed of 80 km/h, this scooter won’t be breaking any land speed records. But who needs a thousand horses under the hood when you’re zipping through city streets?

Sure, it may not have ABS, but it’s got something just as handy: a combined braking system (CBS). Plus, with features like a bright LED headlight, an LCD display, and even a USB charging socket, the Jialing Bugatti 125 is packing more tech than you’d expect from a scooter in this price range.

And let’s not forget about style. Drawing inspiration from European classics like Lambretta and Vespa, this scooter nails the retro look. From its hexagonal headlight to its sleek design, it’s got that vintage charm with a modern twist.

So, while it may not be the Bugatti you’re used to, the Jialing Bugatti 125 proves that luxury doesn’t always have to come with a hefty price tag.

So why not trade in four wheels for two and experience the thrill of riding a Bugatti—albeit a slightly different kind?
