Positioned in Tauris's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2012 Tauris Samba 50 2T Art Collection pairs a 49.5 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 4.3 HP (3.1 kW) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive.
On the scales, the Samba 50 2T Art Collection measures 84 kg (185 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 740 mm (29.1 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops. The 5-liter (1.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
