2018 · Scooter
The 2018 Daelim S300 entered the competitive scooter market as a practical and accessible option for urban commuters and those seeking an efficient two-wheeled solution. As a continuation of Daelim's scooter offerings, it aimed to carve out its niche against well-established rivals like the Kymco Downtown 300i and the SYM Citycom 300i. This model year brought a package designed for everyday usability, focusing on a balance of power and convenience within the 300cc scooter segment.
At the heart of the S300 is a 249.00 ccm (15.19 cubic inches) engine, providing a respectable 25.00 HP (18.2 kW) at 8700 RPM. This power output allows the S300 to achieve a top speed of 136.8 km/h (85.0 mph), making it capable of more than just urban commutes. Weighing in at 167.0 kg (368.2 pounds), it offers a good power-to-weight ratio for its class. Fuel capacity stands at 12.70 litres (3.36 gallons), offering a decent range between fill-ups, a crucial aspect for daily riders.
Riding characteristics of the S300 prioritize ease of use and comfort, typical of its scooter category. The low seat height of 770 mm (30.3 inches) at its lowest setting ensures accessibility for a wide range of riders, making it easy to flat-foot at stops. The upright riding position, standard for scooters, contributes to a relaxed posture, ideal for navigating city traffic. While not a sport-oriented machine, its suspension and chassis are tuned for predictable handling and a comfortable ride over varying road surfaces.
The Daelim S300 2018 is targeted at riders seeking a dependable and economical scooter for daily commuting and light touring. Its blend of adequate power, comfortable ergonomics, and practical features makes it a sensible choice for those prioritizing convenience and fuel efficiency. It appeals to new riders and experienced motorcyclists alike who appreciate the straightforward operation and storage capabilities inherent in a scooter. For individuals needing a reliable urban mobility solution with enough grunt for occasional longer trips, the S300 presents a compelling proposition within its class.
