The Ultimate Style-conscious Scooter: Revolutionary Design, Double the Fuel Capacity of Honda SH, and Segment-leading Tech

Shineray is expanding its motorcycle range in Brazil with options that strike a balance between affordability, modern design, and performance.

Their latest offering, the Urban 150 EFI, targets those seeking a stylish scooter with advanced technology.

In terms of design, the Urban 150 EFI stands out with its bold and unique aesthetics. Compared to traditional models, it boasts sharper lines with a sporty headlight cluster, an attractively designed front apron, and a digital instrument console that displays vital information such as speed, fuel level, and gear position.

Additionally, it features full LED lighting, a USB charging port, and a spacious under-seat storage compartment.

The dual-level seat provides comfort for both rider and passenger, while the wide handlebars ensure a good riding posture, especially for those who ride frequently.

With overall dimensions of 1,950 mm in length, 745 mm in width, and 1,180 mm in height, along with a wheelbase of 1,340 mm and a ground clearance of 165 mm, the scooter is equipped with a massive 13.5-liter fuel tank, almost double that of the Honda SH 160 (over 7 liters).

The highlight of the Urban 150 EFI is its engine. It is powered by a 149.6 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine with an electronic fuel injection (EFI) system. The EFI system helps the scooter meet current emission standards and improves fuel efficiency, a significant advantage in the face of rising fuel prices.

With an output of approximately 12 horsepower, it is suitable for urban and short out-of-town trips. Real-world testing shows stable acceleration, and the 5-speed gearbox performs smoothly, making it ideal for daily commutes.

During testing, the Urban 150 EFI achieved an average fuel economy of between 38 and 42 km/l, depending on traffic conditions and riding style.

Another impressive feature is the automatic engine shut-off when idling and smooth restart when accelerating, contributing to fuel savings and environmental protection—a feature typically found only on premium models.

For a 150cc scooter with fuel injection, these figures are impressive and reinforce Shineray’s efficiency. Moreover, maintenance costs and spare parts remain reasonably priced, a significant advantage over traditional brands.

The Urban 150 EFI’s front telescopic and rear dual-spring suspension systems deliver a comfortable ride on urban roads with speed bumps and humps. While not designed for high-performance or off-road riding, it adequately meets the needs of city commuting.

In terms of braking, the Shineray Urban 150 EFI is equipped with a front disc brake and a rear drum brake. Although it lacks a combined braking system (CBS), the braking response is quite good and suitable for both experienced and novice riders.

The Shineray Urban 150 EFI is priced between 11,000 and 12,000 R$ (approximately 50 to 55 million VND, depending on the region).

This pricing makes the Urban 150 EFI a more affordable option than 150cc scooters from brands like Honda and Yamaha. Its direct competitors include the Honda CG 160 Start (more expensive, reputable brand) and the Dafra Speed 150 (targeting the same customer segment but less popular in the current market). If cost-effectiveness is the primary concern, the Shineray Urban 150 EFI is a clear winner.

If you’re looking for a fuel-efficient and low-maintenance scooter with a modern design, suitable for daily urban use, and at a reasonable price, the Shineray Urban 150 EFI is a strong contender.

While it may not be the most powerful scooter in its segment, it delivers on the manufacturer’s promises. The Urban 150 EFI is ideal for couriers, students, workers, and anyone needing flexible, low-cost transportation.
