Overview

Introducing the 2009 Genuine Scooter Roughhouse R50, a compact and spirited two-wheeler that perfectly blends retro charm with modern practicality. As part of the scooter category, the Roughhouse R50 is designed for urban commuters and casual riders who seek a fun, efficient mode of transportation without the bulk of larger motorcycles. With a price tag of just $1999, it positions itself as an economical choice for those looking to navigate busy city streets or enjoy leisurely rides along scenic routes. Available in vibrant color options of green and blue, the Roughhouse R50 doesn’t just offer functionality; it brings a splash of personality to your ride. At the heart of the Roughhouse R50 lies a peppy 50cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that delivers a thrilling ride while maintaining impressive fuel efficiency. With a top speed of 30 mph (48.3 km/h), it’s ideal for zipping through urban environments and tackling short commutes. The air-cooled engine, coupled with a compression ratio of 9.0:1, provides a responsive performance, while the automatic gearbox and shaft drive system ensure a smooth and hassle-free riding experience.

The design and engineering of the Roughhouse R50 are tailored for urban agility and stability. Its robust steel frame not only enhances its durability but also contributes to a confident ride. The telescopic front suspension and single shock rear suspension offer a balanced and comfortable experience, absorbing bumps with ease. Safety is not overlooked, as the scooter is equipped with a single disc front brake for responsive stopping power and an expanding drum brake at the rear. These features combine to create a scooter that’s not only fun to ride but also practical for everyday use. **

  • Compact and Lightweight: Its small stature makes it easy to maneuver through city traffic and find parking.
