Chinese Firm Reveals Powerful New Maxi-Scooter
The Chinese company QJMotor has announced a powerful new maxi-scooter.
The new model is called the X-Adventure SRT 900 SX.
According to the company, the scooter has 95 horsepower.
Horsepower is a unit that measures how strong an engine is.
Very few motorcycles reach this level of power.
Because of this, some people are calling it a hyperscooter.
A hyperscooter is a scooter with an extremely powerful engine.
The name suggests the power is close to 100 horsepower.
This is much higher than the power of a typical scooter.
A normal scooter usually has a much smaller and weaker engine.
Because of its high power, the scooter has attracted a lot of attention.
The news was reported by a French motorcycle website called Le Repaire des Motards.
The website questioned whether such a high number was really possible for a scooter.
It noted that few motorbikes have this much power, so a scooter reaching it is unusual.
At the moment, there is no confirmed release date for the scooter.
There is also no confirmed price for buyers.
QJMotor is known for making motorbikes and scooters in China.
The company sells its vehicles in several countries.
More details about the X-Adventure SRT 900 SX are expected in the future.
Fans of powerful scooters are waiting for more official information.
