Engineered by Geely for the custom - cruiser motorcycle segment, the 2020 Geely JM500 pairs a 458 cc (28 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 35.5 HP (25.9 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 35 Nm (25.8 lb-ft) at 5,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 77.5 HP per liter and a 3,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,000 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the JM500 measures 190 kg (419 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.19 HP/kg (5.35 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,545 mm (60.8 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
