The rest of the instrumentation is very comprehensive.

And with a bigger than normal tank size of 16 Liters, the Atlantic’s fuel range is between 120-250 miles. That’s a hell of a lot longer than any of the other super-scoots, and a very welcome feature. | ||
Being able to ride the Atlantic over longer distances means you’ll inevitably be tempted to sample it on some backroads like I did. And after the fun I had on it around Sicily’s twists and turns, I’d recommend that you give one a go too if ever you get the chance. | Being able to ride the Atlantic over longer distances means you’ll inevitably be tempted to sample it on some backroads like I did.

On the other hand though, depending on its success, even if that turns out to be only in Europe, I can still see even bigger, automatic scoots coming to us in the very near future. I’d predict that happening within just two or so years. A new side to biking is about to unfurl. How big it gets over here is down to us Brit bikers recognizing its benefits. Ride an Atlantic and you’ll see the light. | On the other hand though, depending on its success, even if that turns out to be only in Europe, I can still see even bigger, automatic scoots coming to us in the very near future.
