Introducing the 2016 Di Blasi Express 50, a remarkable fusion of innovative design and practical functionality. Positioned within the allround category, this motorcycle stands out as a versatile solution for urban commuting and recreational riding. With a price tag of just $1,995, the Express 50 offers an affordable entry point for riders of all experience levels. Its compact footprint and foldable design make it the perfect companion for riders seeking an agile and space-efficient motorcycle that can tackle the bustling streets of the city or be easily stored when not in use. At the heart of the Di Blasi Express 50 lies a spirited 49.90 ccm in-line four, two-stroke engine that produces a modest yet peppy 1.30 HP at 3800 RPM. This nimble power plant allows the Express 50 to reach a top speed of 48.3 km/h (30.0 mph), making it ideal for zipping through traffic. Its automatic gearbox ensures an effortless riding experience, while the air-cooled system and carburetor fuel delivery contribute to its efficiency, achieving a remarkable fuel consumption of just 1.81 liters per 100 km (approximately 129.96 mpg). Riders will appreciate the lightweight construction, tipping the scales at only 29 kg (64 lbs), which enhances maneuverability and adds to the thrill of riding this compact bike. The Di Blasi Express 50 is not just about performance; it's also loaded with thoughtful features designed for convenience and ease of use. The bike's kick starter ensures a quick and reliable start, while the telescopic front fork and rear shock absorber suspension provide a comfortable ride over various terrains. The expanding drum brakes on both the front and rear offer reliable stopping power, enhancing rider confidence. With a fuel capacity of 2.84 liters (0.75 gallons), you can confidently venture on short trips without constant refueling. Riders can also choose from a vibrant array of colors, including red, yellow, blue, black, white, and green, allowing for personal expression on the road. Plus, the foldable design makes it incredibly easy to store, fitting into less than 5 cubic feet when collapsed. **
