Engineered by Kymco for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2012 Kymco DJS50 utilizes a 49.5 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 3.8 HP (2.7 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 3.4 Nm (2.5 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 39.0 x 41.4 mm (1.5 x 1.6 inches) with a 11.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the DJS50 measures 98 kg (216 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 810 mm (31.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,350 mm (53.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6-liter (1.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
