Positioned in Italjet's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2008 Italjet Velocifero 50 pairs a 49 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 5 HP (3.6 kW) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 40.0 x 39.3 mm (1.6 x 1.5 inches).
On the scales, the Velocifero 50 measures 72 kg (159 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.07 HP/kg (14.4 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 770 mm (30.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance. The 6-liter (1.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
