Built around Italjet's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2008 Italjet Torpedo 50 features a 49.4 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 4 HP (2.9 kW) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 40.0 x 39.9 mm (1.6 x 1.6 inches).
On the scales, the Torpedo 50 measures 96 kg (212 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance. The 7.5-liter (2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
