Engineered by PGO for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2016 PGO Ligero 125 relies on a 124.9 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 9.5 HP (6.9 kW) at 7,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 9.3 Nm (6.9 lb-ft) at 6,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 76.1 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,750 rpm) and peak power (7,750 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 Ligero 125 measures 83 kg (183 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (8.74 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,285 mm (50.6 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6.7-liter (1.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
