How Much Horsepower Does a 49cc Engine Have?

Though each unit refers to engine output, horsepower and cc are two fundamentally different measurements. "Horsepower" refers to the approximate number of horses a healthy engine can do the work of. "CC" refers to the internal combustion space of the engine cylinders in cubic centimeters. Therefore, a 49cc engine clears out 49 cubic centimeters per sweep, resulting in a performance equivalent to the power of three horses.
