Suzuki Let's (AS50)
1996—1998

I have put some Suzuki Let's (AS 50) info on this page. I would be grateful of any contributions — sales brochures, magazine ads, magazine articles, pictures, specs, facts, corrections etc. Please scan the material in JPEG format (large enough that all the details are visible) and send them to me. Please tell me the source and the publication date if possible. If you send me pictures of your own bike, please follow these instructions.

The Suzuki Let's (AS50) scooter was launched in February 1996. With it, the company wanted to gain a share of the market, which at that time was dominated by the third-generation Honda Dio (AF34/35). The scooter turned out to be successful. Other manufacturers began producing scooters with similar design and layout. Even Suzuki made just that. Just months after the presentation of the first Let's model, Suzuki decided to launch the next generation — the Suzuki Let's II (AZ50). The two Let's models were produced alongside each other until the end of 1998, when the original Let's was discontinued while the Let's II continued to be manufactured. Much later, in 2015, the model name ”Let's” (without any roman numbers or any letters at the end) was used again by Suzuki. Here's a link to the page with the Let's (UZ50) model history.
