Have you ever seen a scooter that looks like it’s from the 1960s at first glance, but gives a completely 2025 experience when driven? If not, you will definitely be surprised to see the CFMoto 150 Aura. Chinese automobile company CFMoto has recently introduced this retro style modern scooter and its discussion has intensified not only in China but also in India – even though it has not been launched here.
But the question arises – is it just a show-off scooter or does it really have power in technology and performance? Let’s know about this special scooter in detail.
1. Design: Classic feel of the 60s, but modern finish in every line
The design of the CFMoto 150 Aura is its biggest strength. Looking at its styling, you will be reminded of scooters like Lambretta or Keeway Sixties. The round LED headlight, wide body panels, and flat seat give it a completely retro look.
But the point to note is that every element has a premium touch—the body finish, chrome highlights and textured seat make it a style statement, not cheap or old-school.
The company’s aim is clear: no compromise in style, but no shortage in performance and technology either.
2. Engine and performance: Retro from outside, a complete racer from inside
The CFMoto 150 Aura is given a 150cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine, which generates 15.8bhp of power and 14.3Nm of torque. It weighs just 132 kg, which improves the power-to-weight ratio.
This engine is equipped with CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), that is, there is no hassle of gear shifting.
This scooter is very performance friendly and smooth for city commute.

3. Safety: Combination of dual-channel ABS and disc brakes
This premium scooter has disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels. Also, dual-channel ABS comes standard, which is in line with today’s safety standards.
This feature proves to be very useful especially in case of slippery road or sudden braking.
4. Technology: Equipped with 2025 thinking
The technology of this scooter really takes it to 2025. Know what is special:
- Feature Description
- TFT display 6.2-inch full digital

5. Price and prospects in India: Regret or hope?
Its price in China is CNY 11,980, which is around ₹ 1.46 lakh in Indian currency.
There is no official plan for its launch in India right now, but given the growing demand for retro + premium scooters in the Indian market, the possibility of its entry cannot be ruled out.
If CFMoto brings it to India, it can make a mark in the crowd of e-scooters like TVS iQube, Ather 450X, and Ola S1—because it runs on petrol, but is not behind them in technology.
