Built around Kymco's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2012 Kymco Super 8 50 4T relies on a 49 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 3.4 HP (2.4 kW) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive.
On the scales, the Super 8 50 4T measures 108 kg (238 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.
