Characteristics of the Sym Orbit 50 scooter

Design and quality

Manufacturer – Taiwan. Unlike electronics products, manufacturers from this country do not have a very good reputation in the field of motorcycles and cars. However, Sanyang Electrical Machinery closely cooperates with Honda and Hyundai companies, especially in the production of two-wheeled vehicles.

As a result, the company's brainchild, the SYM Orbit 50 scooter, has acquired a number of advantages.

1. Very high quality and thoughtful execution of the plastic parts of the case.
2. Aerodynamic design and its own stylish appearance with massive contours that echo road bikes.
3. The luggage compartment has good capacity. In addition to the helmet, quite a few useful things can fit there.
4. The seat also has something in common with a motorcycle seat - a two-level design for two people.
5. Large wheels provide excellent maneuverability compared to other scooters.

In terms of the quality of engineering solutions and general style, SYM Orbit 50 comes close to products from Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha. However, in comparison with them, it is sold for almost nothing.

Description of the scooter model sym orbit 50

The modern world cannot be imagined without vehicles, with the help of which it has become possible to transport large loads and cover long distances in a relatively short time.
Transport is also necessary to move from one location to another within cities and towns. Big, powerful cars aren't always the best option. For large cities where traffic jams are a common occurrence. In this case, more compact means of transportation are perfect, in particular we are talking about scooters.

If you are looking for a high-quality vehicle at an affordable price, we recommend paying attention to the sym orbit 50 scooter. The Taiwanese manufacturer Sanyang Industry Co is very popular among buyers due to its excellent price-quality ratio. SIM Orbit 50 model is the best purchase if you are planning to buy your first scooter and do not yet have experience in using this product and do not want to overpay. The price for the sym orbit 50 scooter is reasonable, which makes it affordable for many buyers.

It is worth considering that when developing the Sim Orbit 50 vehicle, engineers worked to create a scooter suitable for Russian roads. Not all compact vehicles for the metropolis have this feature.

It is necessary to indicate how the above scooter model differs from other analogues made in China. Currently, it is Chinese vehicles from little-known companies that have filled the markets not only in Russia, but also in other countries. If we compare the price indicator, the cost of SYM Orbit 50 will be higher than that of similar Chinese scooters. It is also worth noting that the sim orbit 50 complex itself cannot boast of a large selection of options. But the scooter from SYM has the most important advantage - it is high quality. The reliability of the vehicle used is not only convenience, but also safety. For a small amount of money, the buyer gets a truly reliable scooter that will work smoothly year after year. Experienced drivers who deal with scooters of various models say with confidence that little-known Chinese companies rarely demonstrate high quality equipment and spare parts.

The specialists who work at SYM pay special attention to the materials used, as well as the build quality of the scooters. The company provides a guarantee for the sym orbit 50 model for 2 years (or 10 thousand kilometers).

Let's return to the fact that the above model is the best purchase for Russian roads. Experts note that the sym orbit 50 scooter was specially designed for this country, taking into account the characteristics of not only the road surface, but also the local climate. Experts noted that the model’s carburetor and other parts of the scooter are additionally protected, so you can safely ride in rainy and wet weather without fear of obstacles getting into the mechanism.

A strict, stylish and laconic design, without frills, will appeal to most clients. Thanks to its universal style, the SYM Orbit scooter is suitable for both mature riders and the younger generation. The classic shape is not only comfortable, but also functional. It copes well with air currents. Also during the design process, the craftsmen took care of the driver’s comfort, equipping the scooter with a comfortable seat and a spacious leg compartment. The above model is offered to customers in three color options: rich red, radiant white and also the classic metallic silver.

If you are looking for a spacious scooter, then the Orbit 50 model is also well designed in this regard. Despite its compact dimensions, the vehicle is equipped with a spacious trunk, considering the size of the scooter. Another nice feature is the sufficient amount of space between the driver's seat and the passenger seat.

Advantages and disadvantages

SYM Orbit 50 is economical, high-torque, and has smooth torque thanks to its four-stroke engine. It has electronic ignition and a reliable clutch. Excellent optics, large luggage compartment. Wheels of increased diameter increase maneuverability, and wide tires provide good grip on the road surface.

There are also disadvantages. They cannot be called critical; they are inherent in most four-stroke internal combustion engines. Firstly, fuel consumption increases with mileage. From 2-2.2 liters per 100 km after purchase to 3-3.2 liters after a year or two of operation.

Secondly, if you operate the scooter under heavy loads, the piston will wear out quite quickly. As with all quality solutions, the SYM Orbit 50 does not have options for installing spare parts from other manufacturers, so in some areas it may be a problem to find a new piston repair kit.

If we evaluate the scooter comprehensively, the device is quite successful. Perfect for those who are used to feeling confident. It easily carries two passengers and does not succumb to difficult road conditions. In addition, it looks stylish and even respectable.

Before starting to move from the sidewalk, look carefully to the left and behind to make sure that your maneuver is safe.

Stop

When approaching the place where you want to stop, do the following: 1. Turn on the correct turn signal and, making sure that you are not interfering with other vehicles, slowly turn to the place where you want to stop. 2. Allow the throttle to rotate in the opposite direction to its original position. Then, by pressing the front and rear brake levers, bring the scooter to a complete stop. The illuminated brake light will alert drivers behind you that you are about to stop. 3. After the scooter has come to a complete stop, turn the turn switch to the center position and the ignition key to the “OFF” position. 4. Make sure that you park the scooter in a place where it will not interfere with traffic. Remember that the scooter may tip over if the center stand is not placed on a firm, level surface. 5. To place the scooter on the center stand, grasp the handlebars with your left hand and, with your right hand on the rear trunk, step on the center stand with your right foot.

ATTENTION! To prevent your scooter from being stolen, be sure to lock the steering wheel and remove the key from the ignition while parking.

Recommendations for driving a scooter

• Never press the brake lever sharply or turn the steering wheel suddenly to the side. Sudden braking or turning the steering wheel can cause the scooter to skid or overturn.
• When driving in rainy weather, you need to be especially careful. Do not apply sudden braking on wet roads, as this may cause the scooter to skid.
• When driving on wet roads or in rainy weather, more braking distance is required. Reduce speed and start braking earlier than necessary on dry roads.
• When cornering, do not suddenly release the gas or brake, as this can lead to loss of control and a fall. The turn should be made “tightly”, controlling the throttle, or slow down in advance.
• Remember that when driving through water or in rainy weather, the brake pads get wet, which leads to poor braking performance.
