Kymco Dink R 150

For starters, the Kymco Dink R 150 model line measures 1,957 mm in length, 787 mm in width, 1,297 mm in overall height, and 783 mm in seat height. This scooter also comes with a 1,374-mm wheelbase. 

The Dink R 150 flaunts a sleek, sporty design that exudes a big-bike aura whenever it passes by. Its sharp-beaked front end is flanked by scythe-like LED headlights, which give it a bold look, as well as a pair of signal lights for increased visibility. It gets a transparent extended windscreen and sturdy mirrors with a conventional shape. Underneath, it also comes with a body-coloured front fender.

On the sides, the Special Edition trim flaunts 60th special edition emblems and an aluminum floorboard, giving it a classier, more premium overall appearance on the road. Both trims are fitted with 13-inch wheels with alloy rims. This scooter also comes with blacked-out exhaust pipe for an additional sporty touch. At the back, it features hypermodern-looking curved LED taillights and another pair of signal lights. 

In terms of features, the Kymco Dink R 150 comes with a digital instrument panel, which focuses more on functionality rather than modern aesthetics. You also get an easy access USB charging port placed on the front handle bar for your mobile phone. This scooter also offers a large under-seat compartment, which can effectively accommodate a full-face helmet, as well as a front compartment. The Special Edition trim also gets a top box bracket for added convenience.

Comfort-wise, its saddle provides excellent cushioning and support for the rider, but the pillion section is somewhat thin and narrow for taller and larger passengers. On the plus side, this scooter comes with built-in grab handles and rubber pillion footrests for better low-speed passenger riding experience.

The Kymco Dink R 150 model line comes with a Telescopic Fork suspension at the front and Double Shock Absorbers at the rear. Its suspension setup offers just the right amount of softness and stiffness wherever it goes. It effectively soaks up light off-road terrain and bumpy, uneven city pavements, resulting in a supple experience for you and your passenger. In terms of handling, it also hits turns and twists quite confidently for its size and displacement. 

The Kymco Dink R 150 is powered by a 150cc 4-stroke, 4-valve, liquid-cooled, OHC engine that produces 11.2 kW (15 hp) of maximum power and 13.2 Nm of maximum torque. This scooter comes mated to a continuously variable transmission system. 

This scooter is exceptionally quick for a 150cc scooter. It accelerates smoothly and delivers responsive throttle control. It can also perform quick overtakes on wide free-flowing roads, aided by its relatively lightweight frame. Most importantly, it comes with a 10.7-L fuel tank capacity, which is quite generous for its displacement.

In terms of braking, the Kymco Dink R 150 model line is equipped with front and rear discs that are supported by a 9.1m Bosch dual-channel anti-lock braking system. This scooter also comes with a traction control system and an emergency brake warning system. Meanwhile, the Special Edition trim also gets a full-body crash guard for enhanced safety at all times.

The Kymco Dink R 150 effectively encapsulates the Taiwanese motorcycle manufacturer’s standard of versatility on the road. It is a well-designed bike for both daily commuters and occasional adventure seekers.
