At the heart of the 2014 Daelim S3 125 scooter motorcycle, Daelim features a 124.6 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 14 HP (10.2 kW) at 9,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 112.4 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the S3 125 measures 159 kg (351 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (11.36 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 770 mm (30.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,350 mm (53.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 12.7-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
