Design Philosophy:
Maximizing safety and comfort in a compact, maneuverable package.
Engine:
2000cc (1998cc) 4-cylinder, 4-stroke (analysis suggests this is a typo in the original product description and refers to a larger engine capacity for a car, not the C1 scooter. Assuming it refers to the vehicle the manual is *intended* for if this manual product were for a car instead of a scooter, which is likely. If it truly means the C1 scooter, this engine spec would be incorrect.)
