Italjet Roadster 400 Brings 41.5 HP and Radical Italian Style to the Maxi-Scooter World
The Italjet Roadster 400 Combines Radical Italian Styling With Maxi-Scooter Practicality, Powered By A 394cc Engine Producing 41.5 HP And 41.2 Nm Of Torque. Future Design And Specifications May Differ.
Italjet is once again challenging conventional scooter design with the Roadster 400, a striking new machine that combines aggressive Italian styling with the practicality and accessibility expected from a modern maxi-scooter. Rather than following a traditional fully enclosed scooter formula, the Roadster 400 proudly exposes much of its mechanical architecture, creating an appearance that sits somewhere between a performance motorcycle and a futuristic urban machine. Its muscular proportions, distinctive front end and visible engineering give it an unmistakable Italjet identity, while a substantial 394 cc engine ensures there is real performance behind the dramatic appearance. For riders who want everyday scooter convenience but refuse to blend into traffic, the Roadster 400 presents a very different interpretation of urban mobility.

394cc Engine Produces 41.5 HP and 41.2 Nm of Torque
At the heart of the Italjet Roadster 400 is a 394 cc liquid-cooled, four-stroke single-cylinder DOHC engine with four valves, delivering a maximum 41.5 hp (30.5 kW) at 7,500 rpm and 41.2 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. Power is delivered through a CVT automatic transmission, giving riders twist-and-go convenience without sacrificing the stronger performance expected from a larger-capacity scooter. Italjet lists a maximum speed of more than 150 km/h, giving the Roadster enough performance to move well beyond short urban journeys and comfortably handle faster roads. A 12-litre fuel tank supports its everyday usability, while the combination of substantial torque and automatic transmission should make the Roadster particularly effective when accelerating through city traffic.
DLAS Front Suspension Gives the Roadster Its Distinctive Character
One of the Roadster 400's biggest technical highlights is its unusual chassis and suspension design. Italjet uses its DLAS – Dynamic Linkage Articulated Steering system at the front, separating steering and suspension functions to create the precise, unconventional front-end arrangement that has become part of the brand's engineering identity. The front setup offers 100 mm of wheel travel, while the rear uses a single shock absorber with adjustable preload and 110 mm of travel. Braking performance comes from twin 280 mm front discs with four-piston radial calipers, joined by a 260 mm rear disc with a single-piston caliper, with ABS providing additional braking security. The Roadster rides on 15-inch wheels, using a 120/70 front tyre and a substantial 160/60 rear, reinforcing its performance-focused stance.

Italian Design Meets Everyday Maxi-Scooter Practicality
Despite looking like a radical concept machine, the Roadster 400 has been developed with real-world riding in mind. It measures 2,130 mm long and 850 mm wide, with a 1,535 mm wheelbase, while its 790 mm seat height should make it relatively approachable for a broad range of riders. Italjet lists a dry weight of 151 kg, helping maintain the agile character expected from a sporty scooter. Full LED lighting contributes to its modern appearance and visibility, while the exposed mechanical elements, sharply sculpted bodywork and unusual front suspension ensure that the Roadster looks unlike the conventional maxi-scooters surrounding it. Instead of hiding its engineering underneath large body panels, Italjet deliberately makes the mechanical structure part of the design itself.
A Maxi-Scooter That Refuses to Play by the Rules
The Italjet Roadster 400 stands out because it refuses to treat a maxi-scooter simply as convenient transportation. With its 394 cc engine, 41.5 hp, 41.2 Nm of torque, 150+ km/h capability, DLAS front suspension, twin 280 mm front brakes and 151 kg dry weight, it combines useful everyday performance with engineering and styling designed to attract attention. Italjet has built its reputation around scooters that challenge traditional ideas of what the category should look and feel like, and the Roadster 400 continues that philosophy in a larger and more powerful package. For riders who want automatic convenience but still value distinctive Italian design, visible engineering and a genuinely sporty personality, the Roadster 400 offers an intriguing alternative to the traditional maxi-scooter formula.
