what that means? i am looking for a mini dirt bike on ebay and it says 50cc does any body know what that means because its a bit confusing and does any1 kno how big they roughly are
 
50 cc's....50 cubic centimeters of displacement. That is a bike for little kids
 
Hi,
50cc means 50 cubic centimetres or 50 ml (millilitres). It is the capacity of the engine. I would say it's big enough for a mini bike although there are larger engined models.

Have a look at http://www.pocketbikez.co.uk/products/mini_bikes/mini_dirt_bike_yellow.aspx for a quick rough idea. It's a site that sells them but it gives enough detail for you to see sizes and how fast they go.

It is the size of the engine.

50cc is the maximum size for a moped. A 50cc engine can just about enable a lightly built bike with one person on board to maintain 30mph on a smooth level road. I used to have one and it crawled up steep hills at walking pace.

A 50cc engine is not powerful enough to propel an adult over rough ground.
