The stunt list is awfully short, and more variety in the game modes would have been nice. If Rat on a Scooter has any failings, it’s that the game isn’t particularly deep. The sound is nothing particularly special (save the cute sound effect when Ratty Crashes) but certainly doesn’t get in the way or get repetitive. Ratty is absolutely adorable, and you really feel for him when he falls off the screen. The simple fun in Rat on a Scooter XL is echoed by the simple but cute graphics. The simplicity of the gameplay mixed with the strategy of each mode makes for an addictive experience. Do you go for the big cheese or the big grind? But if you grind will you have enough momentum to make it to the next jump? Or if you do go for the piece of cheese near the bottom of the screen will you just careen off the edge? Fuel Depot is even more interesting as the pace that Ratty moves is different than the other modes, forcing you to rethink your timing. However, the real fun comes when the level starts to go faster and you have to balance risk with reward. You can also have your score drop should you come into contact with a pylon. Skill Course is basically Super Cheese XL, but you raise flags for five points each instead of collecting bits of cheese. Fuel Depot has Ratty starting out at a slower speed, but will run out of fuel quickly if the gas icons aren’t collected. Just keep collecting and moving forward for as long as you can. Small and large bits of cheese – worth one and three points respectively – are strewn along the course. Super Cheese XL is the mode most people will begin playing at first.
Maintaining forward momentum on a single tire also nets you bonus points.Įach mode presents its own unique challenges, and how much extra stuntwork you want to risk while getting that high score. Whatever mode you play, Ratty can earn extra points by performing some nifty tricks like grinding along a rail with either only the front or rear tire. As Ratty gets deeper into a level, he travels faster, making it harder to stay on the rails. Ratty can also do a double-jump by tapping the screen anytime during the first jump. The longer you tap the screen, the further he’ll jump. Controlling Ratty is as simple as tapping the screen. Besides the matte-finished colour schemes, the SXL is also available in a limited edition Racing Sixties avatar which demands a price premium for the special cosmetic treatment.The whole point of Rat on a Scooter is to get a solid high score, post it on the worldwide leaderboard and feel good about preventing Ratty from going Boom Crash (the adorable way the game says you fell off the course). Braking is handled by a disc-drum combo, assisted by a single channel ABS.Ĭonsidering its displacement and a premium price tag, the Vespa SXL 150 doesn’t have a competition in India yet. On the contrary, the hardware package is the same with an 11-10-inch wheel combination suspended by a single-sided link type suspension up front and a monoshock at the rear. However, the power figures have gone slightly down to 10.2bhp and 10.6Nm. As opposed to the previous 154cc mill, it displaces 149cc now but continues to feature a three-valve, air-cooled setup. The revised BS6-compliant engine has not just gotten more environment-friendly but it has also lost a bit of cubic capacity. Meanwhile, the semi-digital instrument cluster has been retained. The new Facelift edition, which was introduced during the BS6 transition, gets more features than before including a full-LED headlamp, an under-seat light, and a USB charger. Here, the SXL is a more premium trim with a rectangular headlamp, mirrors, and fancy matte-finished colour options.īesides the minor aesthetic differences, the SXL 150 is the same as the rest of the Vespas on the design front. They are available in two engine configurations including 125cc and 150cc models, with the latter being available in two variants – VXL 150 and SXL 150. The brand’s portfolio has a range of scooters, all of which feature a nearly identical design and cycle parts. Vespa scooters are sold by the Italian manufacturer, Piaggio, in India. This SXL 150 scooter weighs 114 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 7.4 liters. With front disc and rear drum brakes, Vespa SXL 150 comes up with anti-locking braking system.
The Vespa SXL 150 is powered by 149.5cc BS6 engine which develops a power of 10.32 bhp and a torque of 10.60 Nm. It is available in 2 variants and 6 colours with top variant price starting from Rs. Vespa SXL 150 is a scooter available at a starting price of Rs.
