Meiduo BWS Overview

Introduction

Meiduo BWS is a sports commuting scooter. This scooter was designed to appeal to the people who wishes to have a scooter than is not ordinary. This scooter looks like a beast from a distance. People who think scooters are basic modes of transportation that are there just to commute, will definitely take a minute to take this scooter in. The Meiduo BWS was designed by keeping the Aprilia WSBK bike in mind.

Meiduo is a Chinese scooter brand. They are quite well known for their high-quality scooters. Meiduo is doing business in Bangladesh through Ambition Motors. They have released quite a few scooters in Bangladesh, which allowed them to gain quite a lot of popularity. The Meiduo M6 and Meiduo BWS are two of the most popular Meiduo bikes.

Key Features:

Meiduo BWS is a sports scooter. This scooter comes with a fully sporty design and sporty decals. The decals of the scooter give it a very premium appearance. The scooter has a long single seat, with the pillion side slightly elevated to make the scooter look sportier. The head and tail section of the scooter is also sharp with an edge, which makes it look more aerodynamic. The Meiduo BWS comes in only one single design, which resembles the WSBK design.

The light setup of the scooter is a complete halogen setup. The headlight of the scooter is a dual halogen light setup. The headlight will be quite suitable for the city commute, however for the long ride out of town the light might not be sufficient. The taillight of the scooter is also a halogen bulb, which is sufficient to be noticeable from a distance. The indicators are also bulbs, but for a scooter of the modern age, bulb indicators are a bit backdated.

The scooter comes with a very minimalistic instrument cluster. The instrument cluster of the Meiduo BWS comes with a speedometer, an odometer, and fuel gauge. The instrument cluster does not have any gear position indicator as the scooter comes with an automatic transmission. The instrument cluster has been kept minimal so that the rider does not get confused while commuting.

The first question any scooter enthusiast asks is “How much storage space does it have?”. And we are here to answer your question. The Meiduo BWS comes with huge under-seat storage space. Space is enough for a helmet to fit.

Physical Attributes:

The Meiduo BWS is a small and sporty machine. It has a fairly short saddle. Which allows riders of 5’3” to comfortably ride the scooter. The leg rest at the front also has suitable space for taller riders not to feel uncomfortable. The scooter also has a ground clearance of about 115mm, which is not enough, and makes it quite vulnerable to speedbumps. The fuel capacity of the scooter is about 4.8liters, which is quite enough for the city commute.

The length, width, height, and weight of the Meiduo BWS are 2040mm, 820mm, 1130mm, and 95kg. The scooter is quite light, which allows it to be easily swerved around in the hassling cities. The scooter has a wheelbase of around 1420mm, which is more than enough to keep the scooter stable while at corners.

Engine and Transmission:

The Meiduo BWS comes with a 4-stroke, single-cylinder, and 150cc engine. The engine is also air- cooled and carbureted. The engine pumps out 6.3BHP of power at 7500rpm, and 9.2Nm of torque at 5300rpm. The power and torque of the scooter seems a lot less for the highway but is quite enough for the city commute. The scooter is expected to have a fuel efficiency of 50kmpl combined (city and highway).

The Meiduo BWS comes with a fully automatic gearbox, which makes it very much easy to control. The Meiduo BWS also has an engine-mapping system which makes it detect the elevation of the scooter and send power to the wheels accordingly.

Brakes, Suspensions, and Wheels:

The Meiduo BWS comes with a Disc-drum setup. The front has a disc brake while the rear has a drum brake. The front disc is quite big, and almost as big as quite a few motorcycles as well. The rear drum brake setup may seem very backdated, but for the city commute, this drum brake will be enough.

The Meiduo BWS has telescopic forks as the front suspension, whereas the rear has a single spring- loaded fork on one side of the scooter. The front suspension is expected to perform well, while the rear suspension may not be the best for a pillion, but will be quite responsive at corners.

The Meiduo BWS comes with alloy wheels. The front and rear both have 120/70 sectioned tires. The wheels are both 12” at the front and rear. The big wheels take away some of the nimbleness of the bike, while the thick tires allow the rider to comfortably corner and lean.
