2010 Kymco Super 8 50 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Kymco's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2010 Kymco Super 8 50 utilizes a 49 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. 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 Super 8 50 measures 105.9 kg (233 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 787 mm (31 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.
