Built around Tomos's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2016 Tomos Nitro 50 pairs a 49 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 2.9 Nm (2.1 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a 11.8:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Nitro 50 measures 92 kg (203 lbs) dry. 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, combined with a 1,300 mm (51.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 5-liter (1.3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 250 km (155 miles) between fill-ups.
