Overview

Introducing the 2012 Hyosung Rush 50, a dynamic entry into the scooter market that combines style, performance, and practicality. Designed for urban commuting, the Rush 50 appeals to novice riders and seasoned enthusiasts alike, offering a nimble solution for navigating bustling city streets. With its compact design and lightweight frame, the Rush 50 stands out as an ideal choice for those looking to tackle the daily grind without the hassles typically associated with larger motorcycles. This scooter is crafted in South Korea, embodying a perfect blend of modern design and reliable engineering, making it a compelling option for riders seeking efficiency and fun on two wheels. At the heart of the Hyosung Rush 50 lies a spirited 49cc, single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that delivers lively performance. With a bore and stroke of 41.0 x 37.4 mm, this compact powerhouse offers a peppy ride, making it easy to zip through traffic or cruise along open roads. The air-cooled engine, fed by a 14 mm carburettor, excels in fuel efficiency while providing a responsive throttle for quick acceleration. An automatic gearbox simplifies the riding experience, allowing riders to focus on the journey rather than shifting gears. With its lightweight build of 88 kg (194 pounds), the Rush 50 feels agile and maneuverable, instilling confidence in riders as they tackle turns and city obstacles with ease. The Rush 50 is packed with features that enhance both comfort and convenience. It boasts an electric starter and a kick starter for versatility in ignition, ensuring you’re never left stranded. The spacious under-seat storage provides ample room for personal items, while the ergonomic seat height of 740 mm (29.1 inches) makes it accessible for riders of various heights. With color options including striking red/black, sleek blue/black, and classic silver/black, the Rush 50 caters to different style preferences. Additionally, it comes with a two-year warranty with unlimited kilometers, demonstrating Hyosung's commitment to quality and reliability. The steel frame, combined with telescopic front forks and a coil spring rear suspension, ensures a smooth ride that absorbs bumps in the road effortlessly. **
