Engineered by Aprilia for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2012 Aprilia Scarabeo 50 4T 4V utilizes a 49.4 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 39.0 x 41.8 mm (1.5 x 1.6 inches).
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 8-liter (2.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
