2006 Tank Sports Urban 50 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in Tank Sports's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2006 Tank Sports Urban 50 utilizes a 50 cc (3.1 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 2 HP (1.5 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox. With a specific output of 40 HP per liter, the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 737 mm (29 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,346 mm (53 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
