At the heart of the 2013 Piaggio Typhoon 50 scooter motorcycle, Piaggio relies on a 49 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 4.6 HP (3.3 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 3.8 Nm (2.8 lb-ft) at 8,000 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 41.3 mm (1.5 x 1.6 inches).
On the scales, the Typhoon 50 measures 101 kg (223 lbs) wet (curb). The 7-liter (1.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
