Engineered by Linhai for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2016 Linhai Aeolus 50 relies on a 49.5 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 2.9 HP (2.1 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 3 Nm (2.2 lb-ft) at 6,000 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 41.1 mm (1.5 x 1.6 inches).
On the scales, the Aeolus 50 measures 78 kg (172 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 79 mm (3.1 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,194 mm (47 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6.43-liter (1.7 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.8 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 230 km (143 miles) between fill-ups.
