2013
The MZ Anthony 50 2T, released in 2013, represented MZ's foray into the entry-level moped market. While MZ is perhaps better known for larger displacement motorcycles, the Anthony 50 2T aimed to capture riders seeking economical and practical transportation. It directly competed with mopeds such as the Peugeot Speedfight 3 and similar 50cc two-stroke offerings from other European manufacturers. It offered a simple, approachable option for younger riders or those prioritizing fuel efficiency.
Powering the MZ Anthony 50 2T is a 49.3 ccm (3.01 cubic inches) two-stroke engine. This small but efficient engine produces a modest 3.5 HP (2.5 kW) at 7300 RPM. This power output translates to a top speed of 45.0 km/h (28.0 mph), adequate for its intended urban environment. The motorcycle's relatively light weight of 83.0 kg (183.0 pounds) contributes to its nimble handling and ease of use, especially for newer riders.
The Anthony 50 2T offers a generally upright riding position, typical of mopeds designed for short commutes and city errands. The seat height of 800 mm (31.5 inches) at its lowest setting makes it accessible to a wide range of rider sizes. The suspension is basic but functional, providing a comfortable enough ride for typical urban road conditions. Its small size and responsive handling make it easy to maneuver through congested traffic.
The MZ Anthony 50 2T was designed for riders seeking affordable and practical transportation, particularly younger riders just starting out or those needing a fuel-efficient way to navigate urban environments. Its simple design and ease of use make it a good option for beginners. While it may not offer the performance or features of larger motorcycles, the Anthony 50 2T provides a reliable and economical solution for basic transportation needs.
