Positioned in Hanway's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2023 Hanway B50 pairs a 498 cc (30.4 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 46.9 HP (34.3 kW) at 8,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 45 Nm (33.2 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 94.2 HP per liter and a 2,250 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (8,250 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the B50 measures 209 kg (461 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.22 HP/kg (4.46 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 1,520 mm (59.8 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
