Racer Alpha RC50: cheap and cheerful
What do beginners usually choose when they want to join the world of two-wheeled vehicles with a motor? That's right - something inexpensive. This is a reasonable approach that significantly reduces the chances of ending the very first motorcycle season in some kind of accident, which, unfortunately, often happens to those who choose something extremely powerful as their first motorcycle. The Racer RC50 Alpha moped is designed specifically for beginners. It is inexpensive, weighs little, and is quite capable of teaching the skills of working with a manual transmission. Another important advantage is its cubic capacity - despite all the disadvantages of such a small motor, there is also a plus, because to drive the Racer Alpha, a category “M” license is enough. Of course, it is also subject to restrictions such as a ban on driving on highways, but these are nuances.
First look
For many motorcyclists originally from the USSR, the word “moped” means something very weak, archaic and unsympathetic. But the days of “Riga”, “Karpaty” mopeds and others like them are long gone, and modern lightweight 50 cc bikes look almost like motorcycles. The technical characteristics of the Racer Alpha 50 are also head and shoulders above those of its Soviet predecessors. Of course, when designing and producing this model, the Chinese clearly prioritized cost reduction, but, nevertheless, the moped turned out to be tolerable. More or less.
The first generation Racer Alpha looked like a guest from the past, but after a slight restyling its appearance has noticeably improved. The moped has been refreshed, acquired a more harmonious appearance and at the same time has hardly risen in price. As for the technical component of Racer Alpha, everything is as expected as simple. The Racer Alpha 50 engine, as the name of the model suggests, has a displacement of 50 cubic cm . Cooling - air, maximum power - 3 hp. At the same time, the maximum speed of the Racer Alpha is 75 km/h - not bad for a moped. It is worth noting that it is indeed capable of achieving the stated speed. As well as being able to teach how to handle the gearbox, the Alpha RC50 is equipped with a 4-speed transmission . 1-N-2-3-4 scheme is used , and not 4-3-2-1-N, as on some Chinese bikes of the same class. This is a significant plus that will be useful in the future if the motorcyclist decides to switch to a full-fledged motorcycle. The engine must be “twisted” to have some kind of dynamics, since the peak of power occurs at around 8500 rpm .
Everything else is as simple as possible - drum brakes on both wheels, a carburetor, the most primitive suspension. The dry weight of Racer Alpha is only 75 kg . 120 kg on board , but in practice, if there is a passenger, the last vestiges of dynamics quickly disappear. The effectiveness of the brakes also leaves much to be desired. What else can you expect from archaic brake drums? But, if something happens, you can fix the Racer RC50 Alpha moped right in an open field with the help of a hammer, screwdriver, file and a couple of unprintable expressions. Reliability! And, judging by the reviews, most owners completely agree with this opinion.
Pros and cons of the Racer RC50 Alpha moped
Advantages
- Affordable price . A new moped can be bought for about 40 thousand rubles, give or take, and a used one is even cheaper.
- Economical . The declared fuel consumption is about 1.6 liters per 100 km. In practice, it turns out closer to 2 liters, but this is still very little.
- Simplicity of design . Even a novice biker who is just beginning to master the basics of this science can maintain and repair the Racer Alpha moped.
- Cost of maintenance . Spare parts and consumables for the Racer Alpha RC50 are very cheap, and they are usually in stock in most stores that sell parts for Chinese motorcycles.
- Light weight . Even a beginner can handle this moped.
Flaws
- Brakes . Their effectiveness is clearly not enough, especially on wet or muddy roads. If there is a passenger, braking becomes an extreme process.
- Gas tank volume . Only 6 liters is not enough, however. However, given the modest gasoline consumption, this is not at all critical.
- Headlight . The power of the stock Racer Alpha RC50 headlight can be compared to the power of a flashlight. However, on Aliexpress you can buy a more powerful headlight for inexpensively.
- Weak pendants . If the driver (alone or together with a passenger - it doesn’t matter) weighs more than 100 kg, the moped sags noticeably, and the efficiency of the shock absorbers decreases sharply.
Similar models
- Wels True Spirit . Almost a complete analogue from the Chinese motorcycle giant Wels, which is, however, practically unknown in Russia.
- Irbis Alpha . Yes, also Alpha. The moped is very reminiscent of the first generation Racer Alpha.
- Yamasaki Scorpion. It looks “sporty”, is equipped with disc brakes, and costs a little more.
Reviews from Racer Alpha RC50 owners
A normal moped for the village. It costs pennies, spare parts are sold by weight, and can be repaired in the barn if necessary. Anyone can eat gasoline, and in small doses. It looks dull, but in this case it doesn't matter. If you need the cheapest possible transport for a country house, a scooter is a good alternative. Like any Chinese technique, sometimes it requires the use of hands. Igor, Dedovsk, Racer Alpha '2014
So-so Chinese. I bought it new in 2021, bought it for the price and appearance - it looks like a motorcycle. Only the Racer Alpha has only the appearance of a motorcycle, but in fact it does not ride or brake, the suspension constantly breaks on our roads, harder oil in the fork only partly solves the problem. There are a lot of assembly problems, after purchase you have to shake it up yourself. For the same money it is better to buy a used scooter like Joga, there will be less fuss with it. Ilya, Tula, Racer Alpha '2016
If you don’t want to get a license, it’s a normal option at your own price. Parts are available in almost any market; half of the hardware comes from other Chinese. You can install a larger piston, the speed will increase, and according to the documents, 50 cubes will remain. A full tank lasts me at least a week. Artyom, Tyumen, Racer Alpha '2016
Total
The Racer Alpha moped certainly has a lot of disadvantages. Weak engine, archaic brakes, mediocre suspension... On the other hand, this moped costs comparable to a bicycle that is far from being the most expensive. It is quite suitable as the most budget-friendly transport, especially for suburban conditions. Yes, and you will learn how to handle the clutch and manual transmission, unlike scooters equipped with a CVT. If you are looking for something as cheap as possible and at the same time not falling apart on the go, the Racer Alpha moped is worth a closer look.
