Rieju Mrt 50 Review
"A gem when clean, but buy carefully or regret it."
Used Buyer Review
The Rieju MRT 50 is a Spanish-built trials-influenced supermoto that punches above its 50cc weight class in terms of looks and chassis quality. The frame is genuinely well-engineered, handling is razor-sharp, and the upright ergonomics make it genuinely fun to hustle through tight urban traffic. It feels more serious than your average restricted learner machine, and that's legitimately earned. Here's the reality check though — used examples are a lottery. These bikes attract young riders who thrash them hard, and the 50cc two-stroke engine is fragile when neglected. Always check for seized components, dodgy reed valves, and whether the previous owner ever bothered mixing oil properly. Parts availability is patchy outside Spain, so factor that into your budget. If you find a clean, low-mileage example with service history, you've found something worth having. If it's tatty and cheap, walk away — repairs will eat you alive.
