Built around Aprilia's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2015 Aprilia Scarabeo 50 2T features a 49.4 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 40.0 x 39.3 mm (1.6 x 1.5 inches) with a 10.5:1 compression ratio.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 775 mm (30.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,245 mm (49 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 7.5-liter (2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
