Overview

The Kawasaki KDX 50 is a minibike produced for 2005. Its 49.0 cm³ single-cylinder engine makes 5.4 hp (4 kW), and the bike has a dry weight of 38.1 kg.

The automatic transmission and clutch handle gear changes without a manual clutch. The 2.00-liter fuel tank holds a small amount of fuel, so refueling will be more frequent; two-way height adjustment at both ends lets you alter the suspension setup.

Pros and cons

Advantages

  • Very light

    At 38.1 kg dry, it should be easier to maneuver at low speeds and move by hand.

  • Low seat

    The 480 mm seat height makes it easier for shorter riders to reach the ground.

Things to consider

  • Drum brakes front and rear

    Both wheels use expanding drum brakes rather than discs.

  • Small fuel tank

    The 2.00-liter tank means more frequent fuel stops.
