2010 DB Motors Pirat LC Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by DB Motors for the minibike, cross motorcycle segment, the 2010 DB Motors Pirat LC utilizes a 49.8 cc (3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 12 HP (8.8 kW) at 14,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and chain final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 39.0 x 41.7 mm (1.5 x 1.6 inches) with a 15.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Pirat LC measures 48 kg (106 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.25 HP/kg (4 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 690 mm (27.2 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 957 mm (37.7 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 3.5-liter (0.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
