[1][2] Approximately 130,000 Bella scooters were sold, with engine sizes ranging from 150 to 200 cc (9.2 to 12.2 cu in).

[2][6] As introduced in 1953, the Bella had a 146 cc[3] two-stroke single cylinder engine,[1][3] 12 inch wheels,[4] 6 V electrics, a kick starter, and an undamped telescopic fork.

[citation needed] The fuel tank was mounted under the seat.
