Say hello to the funky and practical SYM 4MICA

KUALA LUMPUR: The Taiwanese automaker SYM recently expanded its range of scooters by introducing the all-new 4MICA in the home market. The new two-wheeled scooter looks funky and kitted with many great features.

Design-wise, it looks like the Husqvarna Vektorr Concept electric scooter with a curvy apron featuring sharp creases on the sides. On the front lies a unique retro-style circular LED headlight coupled with DRLs, and indicators.

The new 4MICA is a long scooter with a wheelbase of 1,390 mm. It weighs 125 kg and is capable of carrying a good amount of weight and luggage on board. The scooter is also outfitted with a semi-digital instrument cluster, USB sockets, and hazard lights.

Features making the SYM 4MICA utilitarian are

• 410 mm long floorboard space
• A patented pillion seat that can flip up to act as a cushioned backrest
• The seat comes with an expandable integrated rack serving as a flat cargo bay
• Optional saddle neatly placed into the side panel

Although SYM doesn’t offer an under-seat storage area with it, riders will have to mount their baggage on the pillion cargo area.

SYM offers the model in two versions, one is powered by a 124.7-cc SOHC engine generating a maximum power output of 9.5 PS and a peak torque of 9.5 Nm, while the other gets energy from a 150-cc engine kicking out 11.3 PS and 12.25 Nm.

Both models roll on 10-inch wheels wrapped with 100/90 tyres at both ends. The suspension is taken care of by a telescopic fork at the front and dual shock absorbers at the rear. As for branking, SYM 4MICA is equipped with a 205 mm petal front disc and a rear drum brake, coupled with a single-channel anti-braking system. 

The SYM 4MICA 125 is priced at TWD 79,800 (around RM 11,977), whereas the 150 variant retails for TWD 85,800 (about RM 12,877).
