SYM Orbit: The Ideal City Scooter
The SYM Orbit is a classic scooter for urban traffic. It features sporty lines, modern design and very good riding stability, combined with solid quality at an affordable price. The first models were equipped with a 2-stroke engine, while later versions received a 4-stroke engine. The scooter is considered reliable and is easy to ride thanks to its automatic transmission / CVT. The new SYM Orbit 2 model meets the Euro 4 standard and is characterised by particularly low fuel consumption.
The Orbit was also offered with 125 to 150 cc engines. These versions are designed more for use outside the city.
