Features

  • Compact single-shock rear suspension for additional control and comfort.
  • Swingarm is set at an optimized angle for rear shock performance.

Engine

  • The 49cc four-stroke SOHC engine is tuned for excellent low- to mid-range performance, perfect for beginning riders.
  • The motor is air-cooled for simplicity, performance and long engine life, and uses ultra-reliable wet-sump lubrication.
  • The CDI system means reliable ignition performance with a strong, efficient spark.
  • Quick-access toolless air filter element makes servicing easy.
  • The exhaust includes a standard spark arrestor.
  • A two-stage rpm limiter, as well as a throttle limiter, enable matching engine performance to the rider's advancing skill level.
  • A tethered switch allows parents to closely monitor new riders and cut power to the engine if necessary.
  • Fully automatic, continuously variable transmission (CVT) means no shifting, allowing young riders to focus on the ride.
  • Engine power is transferred to the rear wheels via a robust chain drive.
  • Push-button electric starting comes standard. For additional peace of mind, a kick starter is also provided.

Other Features
