capable of travelling up to 150km and
reaching 120km/h with the big battery
option in the 506/02, while the smaller
one in the 506/01 can reach 85km/h

plans include a stylish trailer that can
carry extra batteries to extend the
range up to 250 km.

    make touring easier for the 150km range.

    the Cezeta Type 506 a striking scooter.
