A major evolution of the classic scooter that continues to be loved in Taiwan
The CYGNUS series has been a hugely popular staple in the Taiwanese scooter market since the 1980s. It is especially popular among young people and has been used in a wide range of situations, from city streets to mountain roads.
The new Cygnus was developed with the theme of “driving as you wish.” It has been released with a full range of cutting-edge technology while retaining the traditional design taste. Not only is it more comfortable for city driving, but the fun of driving has also been greatly improved.
