Accessible from age 18, it caps power at 35 kW (47.5 hp) and the power-to-weight ratio at 0.2 kW/kg, which suits versatile roadsters such as the Yamaha MT-07 or Kawasaki Z650. In an area where distances are short but traffic is slow, an A2 mostly serves for weekend trips out of Paris, alongside potential daily scooter commuting.
