Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2010 Arqin Metro4 50, a charming entry in the world of scooters that perfectly blends style, efficiency, and practicality. As a product of the Australian brand Arqin, this scooter is designed for those who appreciate a light, nimble ride in urban environments. Whether you’re commuting to work or enjoying a leisurely weekend ride, the Metro4 50 stands out with its vibrant color options—yellow, red/silver, and blue/gray—making it not just a mode of transportation but a statement of personality on two wheels. At the heart of the Metro4 50 is a 49cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that produces a respectable 2.82 horsepower at 6000 RPM. While it might not break any speed records with a top speed of 50 km/h (31.1 mph), this little powerhouse is perfect for zipping through city streets. The automatic gearbox and dry auto-centrifugal clutch ensure that riders can focus on the road ahead rather than the mechanics of shifting gears. With a weight of just 79 kg (174.2 pounds) and an air-cooled system, this scooter delivers a spirited ride that feels agile and responsive. Moreover, its impressive fuel efficiency of 2.40 litres per 100 km (98.01 mpg) means you can ride longer without frequent stops at the pump—ideal for the eco-conscious rider. The Metro4 50 is equipped with features that enhance both comfort and convenience. The electric and kick starter ensures that you’ll never be left stranded, while the single disc front brake and expanding drum brake at the rear provide reliable stopping power in various conditions. With a fuel capacity of 6.40 liters (1.69 gallons), riders can enjoy extended journeys without the constant worry of refueling. The scooter’s compact dimensions—1700 mm in length, 660 mm in width, and 1000 mm in height—make it an excellent choice for navigating tight spaces and crowded urban streets. **
