50cc vs. 5hp

[Pellethuntr2]

Hey guys couple of probably seemingly dumb questions for yah...ok so im lookin into getting a 50cc mini harley motor...how will 50cc compare to a 5hp briggs as far as torque and HP. ive heard that a 50cc is around 8hp???

there is essentially no relation between CC and Horsepower. However im willing to bet the stock 5hp briggs will have more torque, and less rpm.

50cc 8hp?

You cant say how much hp a 50cc engine will produce. A whipper snipper may produce 1hp where as a pocket bike may produce 6hp with the same amount of cc's. Depends on the carb, cam, exhaust, ports, head. Lots of factors affect hp output.

I would say that 50cc engine ur lookin at will produce around 5hp but not have as much torque as a briggs flatty (assuming its a 2 stroke).

2 stroke cams add ALOT of power!

look up the stats of both engines on the net find the
power
cc
touque
of each and then u can work it out

Those 49cc piston ports on those fake Harleys you're talking about make somewhere around 1.2-2HP. Slow *** mothaboobers. Gear reduction box to even get it movin'.
