Piaggio has now announced the launch of Aprilia SR 150 in Nepal. Launched at an introductory price of NPR 2,39,000 (Rs. 1.49 lakh) now the company has extended its current product portfolio from the iconic Vespa scooters to Aprilia in Nepal as well.

The company hasn't spoken about whether the Aprilia SR 150 will be exported to other international markets or not. The company will soon launch another SR scooter, which will be launched in India in early 2017. This could be a more powerful version and will come with a bigger price tag.



Coming to the bike itself, the scooter shares its powertrain with the Vespa 150 but Piaggio has worked upon the engine so there a rush of torque in the mid-range which accelerates the Aprilia quicker than any other scooter. 

The 154.4 cc motor churns out a maximum of 11.4 bhp and develops a peak torque of 11.5 Nm and achieving triple digit speed on this bike is truly easy. Transmission duties are taken care of by CVT unit. The scooter gets 14-inch black alloy wheels with 220 mm disc up front with a 2-piston Bybre caliper, along with a 140 mm drum for the rear.
