Positioned in Tank Sports's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2008 Tank Sports Urban Econo 50 features a 49 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 2 HP (1.5 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox.
On the scales, the Urban Econo 50 measures 83.5 kg (184 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 711 mm (28 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,194 mm (47 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 3.78-liter (1 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.36 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 113 km (70 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 48 km/h (30 mph).
