Cozy Steel Raptor - Honda Aero Mounted
June 9th, 2008 Posted in Steel RaptorAnother Cozy Steel Raptor sidecar, this time attached to the Kinetic Engineering Ltd. (India) derivative of the proven Honda Aero 125 (Lead 125 outside of the US) with two-stroke engine and Varamatic transmission for right-hand drive.
While scooters of this displacement (and smaller) frequently have sidecars attached to them in India, these are generally used in highly urbanized areas with considerable congestion and high traffic density, thus not requiring high acceleration or top speed. Additionally, the average Indian is considerably lighter than the typical American. A larger displacement scooter is suggested for American driving conditions.
Careful reading of the bottom view indicates that this is a vehicle for a disabled individual showing how a Cozy sidecar can enable individuals with conditions which would otherwise not allow safe riding, to enjoy the simple pleasure of riding on a scooter, and the benefits of rapid and convenient scooter transportation.
This sidecar is equipped with matte black powder coated trim. Note the “assist bar” on the inside of the windshield. The owner has chosen to mount the sidecar spare on the rear of the scooter for a more sporting appearance. This is a custom application but is available on special order.
Note that the following 8 items are included in the base price for all Cozy sidecars: (1) front bumper,(2) side guard, (3) passenger assist step, (4) tonneau (dust) cover, (5) luggage / utility rack (not installed by owner on this unit), (6) frame mounted spare tire carrier, (7) windshield, (8) factory finish paint (medium gray standard on all stock units, Cozy factory colors available at no extra cost on special order)
