Vehicle Description
-Silver Birch over Black interior, 5.0kW/120cc four-stroke engine,
three-speed semi-automatic gearbox, Designed for the young or fully
grown adult.
"Half-scale cars are small enough and timid enough to stage a mini
Grand Prix in your own backyard, and theyre an ideal initial
experience for a young adult to develop a first-hand relationship
with motorininertia, momentum, yaw and traction when the human
learning system is at its most receptive and can be calibrated for
life" Harrington Group
All of the cars run a 5.0 kW 120 cc four-stroke motor, but as the
cars only weigh a bit over 200 kg and have a small frontal area, in
standard form, they're good for 44 mph (72 kmh). The engine and
gearbox unit sourced from Loncin/Lifan uses a three-speed (plus
reverse), semi-automatic transmission with a sequential gear change
and is employed by a number of manufacturers in producing quad
bikes.
The pedal box is also adjustable so that the same car can be used
by a six year old or a six foot three parent, and the transition to
the second generation of scaled cars was done with a great deal of
thought for the parents who would share the fun, right down to the
size of the seat required to comfortably accommodate said parents'
bottoms.
The Aston uses an electric starter and 12 volt electrics with
working lights, horn and indicators. The fuse box is in the trunk
along with the spare wheel and battery, so everything is easily
accessible.
This superb Aston DB5 Junior is in excellent condition and
originally purchased by Tom Papadopoulos for his then younger
children. It has always been serviced as needed and cared for from
new. This superb Junior Aston is seeking a new enthusiast home to
be enjoyed by the whole family.
