At the heart of the 2007 Malaguti GT500 Spidermax scooter motorcycle, Malaguti utilizes a 459 cc (28 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 39.5 HP (28.8 kW) at 7,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 42 Nm (31 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 86.1 HP per liter and a 1,250 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (7,250 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the GT500 Spidermax measures 204 kg (450 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.19 HP/kg (5.16 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 760 mm (29.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops. The 14.5-liter (3.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
