2019 · Scooter
The 2019 Honda SH300i continued the legacy of Honda's popular SH scooter line, offering a premium urban commuting solution. This iteration built upon years of refinement, positioning itself as a strong contender in the maxi-scooter segment. It directly competed with models like the Yamaha XMAX 300 and the Kymco People GT 300i, catering to riders seeking a more substantial and capable scooter than typical 125cc offerings.
At its heart, the 2019 SH300i was powered by a 279.10 ccm (17.03 cubic inches) engine, a single-cylinder unit designed for efficient power delivery. This powerplant produced 24.81 HP (18.1 kW) at 7500 RPM, providing ample thrust for city and suburban travel. Torque figures stood at 25.50 Nm (2.6 kgf-m or 18.8 ft.lbs) at a lower 5000 RPM, ensuring responsive acceleration from a standstill. The scooter boasted a respectable top speed of 128.0 km/h (79.5 mph), making it suitable for occasional highway stints. Fuel capacity was 9.00 litres (2.38 gallons), offering a decent range between fill-ups.
Riding the SH300i was characterized by its agile handling and comfortable ergonomics. The scooter's large wheels contributed to a stable ride, absorbing road imperfections with ease. Its 805 mm (31.7 inches) seat height (if adjustable, lowest setting) provided a commanding view of traffic while remaining accessible for a wide range of riders. The upright riding position and spacious floorboard offered a relaxed posture, ideal for navigating congested urban environments. As a scooter, it prioritized practicality, with integrated storage and weather protection.
The 2019 Honda SH300i was aimed at urban commuters and suburban riders who required a step up in performance and comfort from smaller scooters. It appealed to individuals seeking a reliable, low-maintenance, and stylish two-wheeled transport solution for daily errands, work commutes, and weekend excursions. Its blend of practical features and capable performance made it a compelling choice for those prioritizing ease of use and Honda's reputation for dependability in the scooter category.
