Positioned in Diamo's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2006 Diamo Velux 250 Convertible pairs a 250 cc (15.3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 17 HP (12.4 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 68 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Velux 250 Convertible measures 169 kg (373 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (9.94 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 737 mm (29 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,448 mm (57 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 7.57-liter (2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.13 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 242 km (150 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 97 km/h (60 mph).
