Built around Horwin's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2023 Horwin SK1 features a purpose-built electric configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 4 HP (2.9 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 1-speed gearbox.
On the scales, the SK1 measures 85 kg (187 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,360 mm (53.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
