At the heart of the 2013 Puma Verbano 250 scooter motorcycle, Puma relies on a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 21.4 HP (15.6 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 85.9 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Verbano 250 measures 150 kg (331 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.14 HP/kg (7.01 kg per horsepower). 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 1,530 mm (60.2 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 130 km/h (81 mph).
