2020 Lifan Glow 100 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Lifan for the allround motorcycle segment, the 2020 Lifan Glow 100 utilizes a 97 cc (5.9 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 6.7 HP (4.9 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 6.5 Nm (4.8 lb-ft) at 5,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 69.1 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,000 rpm) and peak power (7,500 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 Glow 100 measures 120 kg (265 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.06 HP/kg (17.91 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 730 mm (28.7 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,320 mm (52 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 1.6 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 938 km (583 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 80 km/h (50 mph).
