It draws power from a tiny 70cc, twin-valve, 4-stroke, SOHC, air-cooled engine. The power is pushed to the wheels by a 3-speed transmission with automatic clutch. The maker claims that the DR-Z70 boasts superior displacement count than its rivals and the engine can spout enough power and torque to keep the Z70 ahead in any race. The tine racer rides on 10 –inch wheels at the front as well as rear. The start button on the handlebar cranks the engine and a secure keyed ignition provides maximum parent control.

The engine is equipped with fuel injection system that is claimed to provide a quicker and stronger acceleration than its predecessor.
The power generated is pushed to the wheels by a five-speed transmission with cable-operated clutch.
