Positioned in Sym's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2022 Sym Joyride 300 utilizes a 278.3 cc (17 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 25.5 HP (18.6 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 26 Nm (19.2 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 91.6 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 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 Joyride 300 measures 151 kg (333 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.17 HP/kg (5.92 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 770 mm (30.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,500 mm (59.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 11.5-liter (3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
