The Beta Ark LC was a Single-cylinder, 2-stroke, liquid-cooled scooter produced by Beta in 2013.

Engine[edit | edit source]

A 40.6mm bore x 40.6mm stroke result in a displacement of just 49.0 cubic centimeters.

Drive[edit | edit source]

The bike has a gears transmission. Power was moderated via the dry centrifugal, automatic.

Chassis[edit | edit source]

It came with a 120/70 - 13 front tire and a 130/60 - 13 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via 220mm disc in the front and a 190mm disc in the rear. The front suspension was a hydraulic fork with 35mm shaft while the rear was equipped with a monoshock with adjustable spring preload. The Ark LC was fitted with a 0.53 Gallon (2.00 Liters) fuel tank. The wheelbase was 48.82 inches (1240 mm) long.

2013 Beta Ark LC[edit | edit source]

The 2013 Beta Ark LC sports a gritty, liquid-cooled, "fifty" lump, designed for busy city streets and narrow alleys.

It still retains an off-road touch, characteristic for the Tuscany House, thanks to high mudguards and off-road sides. For inner-city mobility and handling, the engineers have fitted it with a hydraulic fork, an adjustable spring preload monoshock, and tires with enhanced asphalt grip.

It is available for purchase in four stylings, Tribe, Paddock, Razor and Factory.
