2017 Keeway Handy 150 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Keeway for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2017 Keeway Handy 150 utilizes a 149.4 cc (9.1 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11 HP (8 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11.3 Nm (8.3 lb-ft) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 73.6 HP per liter and a 500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,500 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 Handy 150 measures 120 kg (265 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (10.91 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 750 mm (29.5 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,330 mm (52.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 12.5-liter (3.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 97 km/h (60 mph).
