Positioned in Benelli's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2011 Benelli Pepe 50 LX pairs a 49.2 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 40.0 x 39.2 mm (1.6 x 1.5 inches).
On the scales, the Pepe 50 LX measures 87 kg (192 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 740 mm (29.1 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,260 mm (49.6 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.
