At the heart of the 2009 Boom Trikes Muscle Low Rider custom - cruiser motorcycle, Boom Trikes relies on a 1596 cc (97.4 cu in) in-line four, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 100 HP (73 kW) at 6,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 146 Nm (107.7 lb-ft) at 4,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 62.7 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (4,000 rpm) and peak power (6,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Muscle Low Rider measures 720 kg (1587 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.14 HP/kg (7.2 kg per horsepower). The 38-liter (10 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 8 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 475 km (295 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 170 km/h (106 mph).
