Engineered by Vespa for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2019 Vespa Sprint 50 pairs a 49.9 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 32 HP (23.4 kW) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 39.0 x 41.5 mm (1.5 x 1.6 inches).
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, combined with a 1,870 mm (73.6 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 8-liter (2.1 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.91 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 275 km (171 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 64 km/h (40 mph).
Within MotoLibrary's Vespa archive, this model family spans 9 indexed model years from 2014 to 2024, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
