Engineered by Chang-Jiang for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2007 Chang-Jiang BD50QT-9 150 relies on a 50 cc (3.1 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 3.6 HP (2.6 kW) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through belt final drive. With a specific output of 72 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 BD50QT-9 150 measures 97 kg (214 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,380 mm (54.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6-liter (1.6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 1.9 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 316 km (196 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 45 km/h (28 mph).
