2008 TGB 101R 50 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in TGB's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2008 TGB 101R 50 features a 49 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 10.1 HP (7.4 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 41.0 x 37.4 mm (1.6 x 1.5 inches) with a 7.8:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the 101R 50 measures 92 kg (203 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (9.11 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance. The 5.1-liter (1.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
