Review

The 2014 Tauris Capri 50 2T Art carved out its niche in the competitive 50cc scooter segment, offering a stylish and practical urban mobility solution. This particular year model continued the Capri's lineage as an accessible and user-friendly option for new riders and commuters. In its class, it faced direct competition from popular models like the Piaggio Zip 50 and the Kymco Agility 50, all vying for a share of the entry-level scooter market. The Capri 50 2T Art aimed to differentiate itself with its distinct styling and focus on straightforward functionality.

Powering the 2014 Capri 50 2T Art is a 49.50 ccm (3.02 cubic inches) two-stroke engine, producing a modest 4.29 HP (3.1 kW) at 7000 RPM. This power output allows the scooter to reach a top speed of 45.0 km/h (28.0 mph), which is perfectly adequate for navigating city traffic and adhering to urban speed limits. With a dry weight of 107.0 kg (235.9 pounds), the Capri 50 2T Art is relatively lightweight, contributing to its nimble feel. Its fuel tank capacity of 5.00 litres (1.32 gallons) provides a decent range for daily commutes without frequent stops at the pump.

Riding the Capri 50 2T Art is characterized by its approachable nature and ease of use. The scooter features a low seat height of 740 mm (29.1 inches) (lowest setting if adjustable), making it accessible for a wide range of riders, particularly those new to two wheels or with shorter inseams. This low-slung seating position, combined with an upright stance, contributes to a comfortable and confidence-inspiring ride. Its compact dimensions and light weight make it highly maneuverable, ideal for weaving through congested streets and parking in tight spaces. The scooter's suspension is designed to absorb urban imperfections, providing a smooth journey over typical city surfaces.

The Tauris Capri 50 2T Art is primarily targeted at urban commuters, students, and new riders seeking an economical and straightforward mode of transportation. Its ease of operation, low running costs, and manageable performance make it an excellent choice for navigating the daily grind. For those needing a reliable and unpretentious scooter for short-distance travel and city errands, the 2014 Capri 50 2T Art presents a viable and practical option in the 50cc scooter category.
