At the heart of the Galactica 2.0 RC 50 lies a punchy 49cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine, delivering a respectable 2.7 horsepower. While it may not be a powerhouse on paper, the automatic gearbox and lightweight design (weighing in at just 91 kg) lend themselves to nimble handling and swift acceleration, reaching a top speed of 45.1 km/h (28.0 mph).

The scooter is equipped with wave disc brakes, both front and rear, providing excellent stopping power and an eye-catching design element. The telescopic front fork and adjustable hydraulic shock absorber in the rear ensure a smooth ride over various terrains, accommodating different rider preferences. An electric starter complements the kickstart option, adding convenience for those on the go. With a fuel capacity of 5.5 liters, this scooter is designed for longer rides with fewer stops, making it a fantastic companion for urban adventures. **

Pros

  • Lightweight and Agile: At just 91 kg, the Galactica 2.0 RC 50 is incredibly easy to maneuver, making it perfect for city riding.
  • Stylish Design: The vibrant color options and modern styling give this scooter a distinctive look that turns heads.
