CFMOTO Philippines Enters Futuristic Classic Segment with All-New Aura 150 Launch

QUEZON CITY, Philippines — CFMOTO Philippines officially entered the high-tech scooter market, unveiling the highly anticipated Aura 150 at the UP Town Center Amphitheatre. The two-day launch event, which ran from February 28 to March 1, 2025, showcased the brand's shift toward a "modern-retro" aesthetic combined with segment-leading technology.

The Launch Event: From Gallery to Gig

The unveiling was a multi-phased experience designed to highlight the lifestyle appeal of the new model.

• Day 1 (Saturday): The program focused on the official price reveal and a unique photo exhibit. The exhibit featured images from a pre-launch "photo-ride" where select media, influencers, and KOLs, including Darwin Zialcita of News Moto were tasked with capturing the essence of the bike using Fujifilm disposable cameras during a ride through Metro Manila and a studio session at Pioneer Studios a week earlier.
• Day 2 (Sunday): The energy shifted to a public festival hosted by Sam YG, featuring a live performance by the OPM band Hale. The event served as a public viewing opportunity for enthusiasts in the Quezon City area.
• The Afterparty: Following the Day 1 activities, the celebration moved to Tryst Bar at The Pop Up Katipunan, hosted by Tristan Cheng. The evening featured sets by DJ Marx and Alwyn, bringing together the local riding community and industry friends.

Machine Specs: Premium Tech in a Classic Style Body

The Aura 150 is positioned as a direct competitor to established European and Japanese classic scooters, but with a significantly higher tech ceiling. It is offered in a single, high-spec variant priced at P131,700.

Engine and Performance
