What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for a 125cc scooter?
2 Answers
125cc scooters typically consume around 2L of fuel per 100 kilometers. However, the fuel consumption of a 125cc motorcycle is only a reference value and is mainly influenced by the vehicle's performance and driving habits. Different types of motorcycles have varying fuel consumption levels, and there are also differences between models equipped with electronic fuel injection systems and those with carburetor fuel systems. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Vehicle Positioning: The fuel consumption of a motorcycle is also related to its positioning. For example, 125cc underbone models generally have lower fuel consumption compared to other models in the same class. In contrast, 125cc scooters, which use continuously variable transmissions (CVT), may have slightly higher fuel consumption due to their transmission type. 2. Fuel Injection Scooter Consumption: Fuel-injected scooters usually consume more than 2L per 100 kilometers, while carburetor-equipped models consume over 2.5L per 100 kilometers. These differences primarily stem from the engine's working method, and the engine's performance itself also impacts fuel consumption.
I've been riding a 125cc scooter for seven or eight years and regularly track fuel consumption in a logbook. For regular commuting, it typically consumes between 2.2 to 2.8 liters per 100 kilometers. Last time I took my little scooter on a long trip, it only used 2.9 liters after running 120 kilometers on a full tank. However, if you ride daily in congested urban areas, fuel consumption can jump to 3.5 liters. To save fuel, you need to learn to control your right hand—avoid twisting the throttle wide open all the time. Ease off the throttle early when approaching traffic lights and coast, and remember to check tire pressure monthly. I know a fellow rider who insisted on installing a large top case, and the increased wind resistance added 0.6 liters to his fuel consumption. Aftermarket accessories can really guzzle a lot of fuel.
