Engineered by Nipponia for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2012 Nipponia Arion 50 pairs a 49.4 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 3.6 HP (2.6 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 3.1 Nm (2.3 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 41.4 mm (1.5 x 1.6 inches) with a 12.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Arion 50 measures 86 kg (190 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 770 mm (30.3 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.
