2011 Peirspeed Key West 49cc

The 2011 Peirspeed Key West is a comfortable step-through scooter with a balanced ride and sporty feel. It's a significant upgrade from the older Peirspeed design with a much better look and more rider-centric design. The 49cc two-stroke puts out enough power to move two riders comfortably. Best of all, a twist of the throttle is all that's required to propel the Key West – no complicated shifting and no aggravating kick-start. Just put in the key, start the engine with its integrated electric start, and it’s off.

The Key West was built with the rider in mind and has several standard amenities that make it a great choice. The large-gauge dashboard is easy to read at a glance and the step-through design means easy mount and dismount. The long seat easily accommodates two and the large storage under that seat allows for a full-face helmet to be locked away. The electric start and Mikuni carburetor mean that the Key West will run in all types of weather. Excellent off-the-line acceleration and an automated transmission give it an easy drive.

The Peirspeed Key West has a great, sporty feel and a well-cushioned ride for its class. When parked, the locking steering column means added security. Safety features include excellent braking, thanks to those front discs, and street-legal lighting, including a powerful halogen front beam. The fit and comfort of the Key West are unusual for this low price point. Three color choices appeal to everyone and the updated, sporty look make it a winner all the way around.

• Updated from the old R50X title, the Key West has a more modern design and appeal that owners appreciate, including a sleeker, more aerodynamic look.
• New steel frame design adds robustness to an already-proven framework, giving better performance and longer life without sacrificing the easy mount the pass-through design gives.
• Improved Mikuni carburetor designed for cold weather use improves both fuel efficiency and starting in all types of weather and in every situation.
• New muffler incorporating updated exhaust catalyst technology reduces air pollution and meets even the strictest emissions regulations, but still means a quieter start and ride.
• Larger dashboard with easier-to-read speedometer and fuel gauge add to both rider comfort and safety, giving at-a-glance information to keep the rider’s eyes on the road.
• Coil over shock rear suspension improves comfort and reduces rider stress while increasing the scooter's payload capacity to better accommodate a passenger.
