Built around Kymco's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2012 Kymco Like 50 2T LX pairs a 49 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 1.5 HP (1.1 kW) at 6,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 2.5 Nm (1.8 lb-ft) at 4,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 39.0 x 41.4 mm (1.5 x 1.6 inches) with a 8.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Like 50 2T LX measures 99.8 kg (220 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance. The 5-liter (1.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
