Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2009 Daelim S-Five, a charming entry in the scooter category that caters to urban riders and commuters alike. Renowned for its blend of practicality and style, the S-Five has carved a niche for itself in the competitive scooter market. Whether you’re navigating crowded city streets or cruising along suburban avenues, this lightweight scooter promises an enjoyable ride without compromising on functionality. With a sleek profile and vibrant color options—including red, blue, black, silver, and a striking red/silver combination—the S-Five is as much a statement piece as it is a reliable mode of transportation. At the heart of the Daelim S-Five lies a spirited 49.50 cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that delivers a lively performance ideal for city commuting. With a compression ratio of 6.8:1 and an air-cooled design, this engine strikes the perfect balance between efficiency and responsiveness. The automatic gearbox ensures a hassle-free riding experience, allowing riders to focus on the journey rather than shifting gears. Riders will appreciate the nimble handling characteristics, enhanced by the telescopic front fork and swingarm rear suspension, which work together to absorb bumps and provide a smooth ride. Weighing in at a mere 87 kg (191.8 pounds), the S-Five’s lightweight frame contributes to its agility and ease of maneuverability, making it a breeze to navigate through traffic. Equipped with both electric and kick-start options, the S-Five ensures you’re always ready to ride, regardless of the situation. Safety is enhanced with a single disc brake at the front and a reliable expanding drum brake at the rear, providing adequate stopping power that inspires confidence in varied riding conditions. The comfortable seat height of 765 mm (30.1 inches) allows riders of many sizes to plant their feet firmly on the ground, making it an accessible option for new or shorter riders. Additionally, the scooter’s compact dimensions, with a length of 1,795 mm (70.7 inches) and a ground clearance of 131 mm (5.2 inches), make it well-suited for urban environments where space is at a premium. **
