Genuine Urbano 50i, 125 and 200i Key Replacement

Quick answerThe Genuine Urbano uses a plain cut key with no chip. Its ignition has four positions, including OPEN for the seat, and the same key works a separate lock on the glovebox. If the key is lost, a new one is cut to the scooter with no programming.

Genuine Urbano 50i, 125 and 200i key quick facts

The Urbano manuals list four ignition positions: ON, OFF, OPEN and LOCK.
Turning the key left from OFF to OPEN unlatches the seat.
LOCK is reached from OFF by pressing the key inward toward the front of the scooter and turning left, with the handlebars at the full-left stop.
The glovebox, below the ignition switch and bag hook, has its own lock cylinder that takes the ignition key and turns to the right.
The fuel filler is under the seat, and the under-seat compartment also holds a USB charging port.

Four positions on the ignition

Genuine's older scooters have three ignition positions and a push-and-turn trick for the seat. The Urbano gives the seat its own marked position. From OFF you turn the key left to OPEN, the seat unlatches and you lift it to reach the storage compartment and the fuel cap. Go one step further, pressing the key inward as you turn, and you reach LOCK, where the fork is held and the key comes out.

The manuals are consistent across the 50i, the 125 and the 200i. Whichever engine your Urbano has, the lock layout is the same.

The glovebox lock

The Urbano's glovebox is the feature that sets it apart for a locksmith. It sits under the ignition switch and the bag hook, and it has a real lock cylinder of its own. You insert the ignition key, turn it to the right, and the door opens. The manual says to take the key out of the glovebox cylinder once it is open. To close it, you remove the key and press firmly on the centre of the lock cylinder with your thumb until it latches.

Because it latches by a push, it is possible to shut the glovebox with small items inside and no way back in if the key is elsewhere.

Things Urbano owners ask about

The key will not go to LOCK: the bars must be at the full-left stop and the key pressed inward before it turns
The seat will not unlatch at OPEN: check that the key is fully seated, then suspect a worn copy
The glovebox key feels different from the ignition: it should not, since both are meant to take the same key
The phone charger is under the seat, so a lost key also means no access to anything left plugged in there

Replacing a lost Urbano key

We check photo ID and the registration or title, with moped paperwork accepted for an Urbano 50i where that is what you were issued. A key is made to the scooter and then tried in ON, OFF, OPEN and LOCK and in the glovebox cylinder. If the glovebox has been forced or replaced and no longer matches, it can be repaired or rekeyed to the ignition key.

Ask for a second key at the same visit and keep it at home.

Where to find the key code

Genuine says it does not cut keys by VIN, and the Urbano manuals do not describe a key code tag. Keep the spare key at home. If both are lost, the key is made from the lock on the scooter.
