Positioned in Suzuki's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2012 Suzuki Lets4 Basket features a 49 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 4.4 HP (3.2 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 3.9 Nm (2.9 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive.
On the scales, the Lets4 Basket measures 74 kg (163 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 685 mm (27 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops. The 4.5-liter (1.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 1.4 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 321 km (199 miles) between fill-ups.
