Engineered by Cobra for the minibike, cross motorcycle segment, the 2023 Cobra CX50e features a purpose-built liquid-cooled electric configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 1.3 HP (1 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 1-speed gearbox and chain final drive.
On the scales, the CX50e measures 42.7 kg (94 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 680 mm (26.8 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,038 mm (40.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
