Engineered by Keeway for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2015 Keeway Zahara 50 features a 50 cc (3.1 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 3.8 HP (2.8 kW) at 6,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 3.7 Nm (2.7 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 76 HP per liter and a 250 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (6,750 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 Zahara 50 measures 101 kg (223 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 750 mm (29.5 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,270 mm (50 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 7-liter (1.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 45 km/h (28 mph).
