Engineered by Sym for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2024 Sym Orbit 50 features a 49.5 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 3 HP (2.2 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 3 Nm (2.2 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive.
On the scales, the Orbit 50 measures 107 kg (236 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 805 mm (31.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,290 mm (50.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6.2-liter (1.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
Within MotoLibrary's Sym archive, this model family spans 5 indexed model years from 2008 to 2024, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
