2026 SYM Joyride 16 300i

The Taiwanese maxi with 16-inch front wheel and radial four-piston caliper targets commuters and everyday riders

Price: €4,299

The SYM Joyride 16 300i positions itself as a solid all-rounder in the 300 segment with strong value for money. The 278 cc single produces 26 hp and 26 Nm, sufficient for commuting and country-road riding. The 16-inch front wheel with radial four-piston caliper and traction control sets it apart technically from cheaper competitors. Keyless system, adjustable windscreen, USB charging port, and over 35 liters of storage make it practical.

Weaknesses are in the details: LCD instead of TFT and no smartphone connectivity. Suspension is firm and noticeable on rough roads. At 778 mm seat height and 186 kg weight, the Joyride is a straightforward everyday scooter for beginners and value-oriented riders.

Competitors include the Honda SH 350i, Kymco X-Town ST 250i, and Aprilia SR GT 200.
