Engineered by TGB for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2011 TGB Express 125 relies on a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 8.6 HP (6.3 kW) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 69.4 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Express 125 measures 125 kg (276 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.07 HP/kg (14.53 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 760 mm (29.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops. The 6.8-liter (1.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
