At the heart of the 2024 Keeway Zahara 50 scooter motorcycle, Keeway 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 3 HP (2.2 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 3 Nm (2.2 lb-ft) at 6,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 37.0 x 46.0 mm (1.5 x 1.8 inches) with a 12.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Zahara 50 measures 89 kg (196 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,280 mm (50.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 5.5-liter (1.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 45 km/h (28 mph).
