2011 Zest Z300T-1 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Zest's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2011 Zest Z300T-1 pairs a 299 cc (18.2 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 29.5 HP (21.5 kW) while maximum torque reaches 13.5 Nm (10 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 98.7 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,360 mm (53.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 140 km/h (87 mph).
