This looks very cool. A little pricey but I would absolutely buy a 250 as a daily commuter if I could get it for $4500.00.

Is there any chance Aprilia will import this model?  150 liters of cargo capacity seems pretty revolutionary.

Is Cargobike a French company bought by Aprilia?  The Contact page lists a French address.

A Honda PC250 made by Aprilia?  Odd.

Miles, I think the Pacific Coast only had integrated side cases under the seat, and nowhere near this kind of capacity.

Here are some of their 2007 concept models from the Paris Show, based on a Aprilia Sportcity scooter.  Was this from before Aprilia bought them perhaps?  

Edit: the history page on their site indicates they were working with Aprilia since 05, but worked with Peugeot Scooters previously.

yeap, pretty cool.
Its basically a step thru scooter with the uh.. step thru filled in with a "trunk".

Probably better that they don't import it to the US. All the "real bikers" will get so confused trying to decide if they can wave to it or not that they might crash...  Rolleyes

Those Italians can make anything, even a Pacific Coast, look good.

The PC back end lifted to reveal a huge "trunk".  The ST1100 and ST1300 have integrated side bags.
