The G-Dink is powered by a 270-cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke engine that produces 16 Kw at 7,500 rpm and 22.3 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm. The engine gives more than enough grunt to propel the 152-kilogram scooter with a 90-kilogram rider to three-digit speeds in under 10 seconds. This enabled me to safely keep up with traffic and to quickly get out of tight spots (like getting caught between two buses competing for passengers).
