At the heart of the 2016 Benelli Pepe 50 scooter motorcycle, Benelli features a 49 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 4.8 HP (3.5 kW) while maximum torque reaches 4.2 Nm (3.1 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 37.0 x 46.4 mm (1.5 x 1.8 inches) with a 7.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Pepe 50 measures 98 kg (216 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 770 mm (30.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,285 mm (50.6 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6-liter (1.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
