Built around PGO's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2011 PGO Ligero 50 relies on a 49 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 3.1 HP (2.2 kW) at 6,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 3.5 Nm (2.6 lb-ft) at 6,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive.
On the scales, the Ligero 50 measures 89 kg (196 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,210 mm (47.6 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.
Within MotoLibrary's PGO archive, this model family spans 2 indexed model years from 2008 to 2011, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
