2011 California Scooter Greaser Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around California Scooter's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2011 California Scooter Greaser pairs a 149 cc (9.1 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 13.3 HP (9.7 kW) while maximum torque reaches 12.3 Nm (9.1 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 89.3 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the Greaser measures 108.9 kg (240 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.12 HP/kg (8.19 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 686 mm (27 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,295 mm (51 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 11.36-liter (3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.61 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 435 km (270 miles) between fill-ups.
