Engineered by MZ for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2013 MZ Charly Classic features a purpose-built air-cooled electric configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 1.3 HP (1 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox.
On the scales, the Charly Classic measures 42 kg (93 lbs) wet (curb). 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, combined with a 775 mm (30.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
