Engineered by Kymco for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2012 Kymco G-Dink 300i utilizes a 270.6 cc (16.5 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 17.4 HP (12.7 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 23.5 Nm (17.3 lb-ft) at 6,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox. With a specific output of 64.3 HP per liter and a 1,750 rpm working window between peak torque (6,250 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 G-Dink 300i measures 140 kg (309 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.12 HP/kg (8.05 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 760 mm (29.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,450 mm (57.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 9-liter (2.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
