Engineered by Linhai for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2012 Linhai LH200T-17 features a 177.3 cc (10.8 cu in) oil & air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 8.1 HP (5.9 kW) at 6,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11 Nm (8.1 lb-ft) at 4,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 45.7 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (4,500 rpm) and peak power (6,000 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the LH200T-17 measures 135 kg (298 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.06 HP/kg (16.67 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,442 mm (56.8 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 7-liter (1.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
