The maximum speed is 40 km/h; its range 50 km measured in realistic condition of use. The frame of mod. R70 takes advantage of the experience made with the production of all the models produced since 1974. Its basic structure is still made as articulated quadrilaterals linked each other. This structure distinguish all DI BLASI vehicles and allows their folding and unfolding in a very easy and a very quick way. However in the mod. R70 this structure is completed by a new (patented) mechanism which allows, when folding the moped, to pull back the front fork automatically. Therefore this mechanism allows, on the one hand, to reduce the sizes of the folded moped to only 69 x 36 x 63(h) cm, on the other hand to increase the length of the unfolded moped (wheelbase 97,5 cm). This last feature increases ride comfort and stability of the moped.
