"Italjet has framed this model as "more than just a scooter," as they call it "Art in Motion." Designed with inspiration from classic silhouettes of the past and fighter jets alike, the Roadster 400 makes a striking statement at first glance. The sweeping lines and sculpted side pods serve as functional cooling ducts that channel air to twin radiators. All these details reinforce the premium feel of the two-wheeler that looks a cross between The Jetsons and the Cyberpunk world."
"Underneath its dramatic bodywork lies a trellis frame and a host of high-spec mechanicals. Italjet's new Dynamic Linkage Articulated Steering (DLAS) replaces the single-arm front end used on the previous Dragster model, and brings more structural precision and visual identity to the front end. The suspension and braking package is equally noteworthy: Öhlins shock absorbers, twin Akrapovič mufflers emerging from the rear, and chunky brake discs behind billet aluminium spoked wheels."
"Performance credentials are solid as well. The Roadster 400 features a 394 cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine that produces 41.5 horsepower and 30 lb-ft of torque, positioning it squarely in the "maxi-scooter" category rather than entry-level commuter territory. That said, Italjet has yet to reveal the full specs, such as final weight, belt vs chain drive, or the exact dimensions of the two-wheeler."
The Roadster 400 blends bold, retro-futuristic styling with functional aerodynamics, featuring sweeping lines and sculpted side pods that channel air to twin radiators. A trellis frame underpins the design while Dynamic Linkage Articulated Steering (DLAS) replaces the previous single-arm front end to add structural precision and identity. The chassis includes high-spec components such as Öhlins shock absorbers, twin Akrapovič mufflers, chunky brake discs, and billet aluminium spoked wheels. Power comes from a 394 cc liquid-cooled single producing 41.5 hp and 30 lb-ft of torque, positioning the model as a maxi-scooter. Final weight, drive type, and exact dimensions remain unrevealed.
