Engineered by Keeway for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2021 Keeway Zahara 50 relies on a 49 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, 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. Internal engine geometry specifies a 13.0:1 compression ratio.
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.
