In recent years, scooters have evolved from simple city runabouts to versatile, all-around machines. The maxi-scooter craze brought about by the likes of the Yamaha TMAX sparked a revolution in Europe and Asia, especially among two-wheeler enthusiasts looking for an easy and comfortable ride to tour with. Several years later, Honda changed the game once more when it released the X-ADV, a cross between a maxi-scooter and an adventure bike.
From there, the adventure scooter segment was born, and for the most part, Honda has remained unrivaled in the large-displacement segment. However, where other manufacturers tried to make their presence felt was in the smaller displacement segment, particularly those with displacements of 200cc and below. Honda themselves released a baby version of the X-ADV with the ADV150, and so, too, did several other manufacturers. This time around, the newest entry into the world of urban adventure scooters comes to us from none other than Aprilia.
