Built around DB Motors's minibike, cross motorcycle platform, the 2005 DB Motors Pirat 50 LC relies on a 49 cc (3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11 HP (8 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive.
On the scales, the Pirat 50 LC measures 44 kg (97 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.25 HP/kg (4 kg per horsepower). The 4-liter (1.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
