Overview

Introducing the 2012 Di Blasi Express 50, a compact marvel designed for urban commuting and leisurely rides. This all-round motorcycle is a unique entry in the market, offering a blend of practicality and fun with its nimble design and lightweight construction. Priced at an accessible US$ 1995, the Express 50 is perfect for those looking to navigate city streets or enjoy a weekend getaway without the hassle of larger, heavier machines. Its foldable feature makes it an ideal choice for riders who value space-saving solutions, easily fitting into tight spots when not in use. At the heart of the Di Blasi Express 50 lies a spirited 49.90cc in-line four, two-stroke engine that delivers a modest yet lively 1.30 horsepower at 3800 RPM. With a top speed of 48.3 km/h (30.0 mph), it may not compete with sport bikes on the highway, but its real charm shines in urban environments where agility and maneuverability are paramount. The automatic gearbox paired with a carburetted fuel system ensures a seamless ride, while its impressive fuel efficiency of 1.81 litres per 100 km (or 129.96 mpg) means you can spend more time riding and less time at the pump. The Express 50 is engineered for simplicity and convenience, featuring a telescopic front fork and shock absorber rear suspension that provide a comfortable ride on a variety of surfaces. Its lightweight design, at just 29.0 kg (64.0 pounds), lends itself to easy handling and a low seat height of 762 mm (30.0 inches), making it accessible for riders of all heights. Available in vibrant colors like red, yellow, blue, black, and green, this motorcycle not only delivers practicality but also stands out visually. It folds down to less than 5 cubic feet, making storage a breeze in small apartments or garages. **

Pros

  • Compact and Portable: The foldable design allows for easy storage and transport, making it ideal for urban living.
  • Excellent Fuel Efficiency: With nearly 130 mpg, it minimizes fuel costs, perfect for daily commuting.
  • Lightweight and Maneuverable: At just 29 kg, it offers effortless handling, making it suitable for both novice and experienced riders.

Cons
