Now in Malaysia are the 2023 Zones 350D and Zontes 350E scooters, priced at RM 23,800 and RM 25,800, respectively. Targeteed at the middle-class rider, these duo of Zontes scooters is officially imported by Zontes Distribution, part of Eurotech Wheel Distribution. The 350D and 350E carry an identical power plant, a liquid-cooled, single-cylinder displacing 349 cc and fed by EFI. Power is claimed to be 36 hp with 38 Nm of torque, with power going to the rear wheel via CVT gearbox and belt drive. A little lighter at 190 kg, the 350D comes with two colour choices – silver or black. 12-litres of fuel is carried in the tank with a estimated 400 km of travel range in Eco mode.
Meanwhile, the 350E – available in white
or black – weighs in at 203 kg and has a longer 1,565 mm wheelbase compared to
the 350E’s 1,405 mm. Biased towards the touring side of things, the 350E gets
an underseat storage space of 50-litres – enough for two full-face helmets –
while twin water resistant pickets in the front cowl has a collective two-litre
capacity.
Both the 350D and 350E come with keyless
start along with a electronically adjustable windshield and dual 18 Watt USB
charging ports with Type A and Type C connections. Inside the cockpit, a
full-colour TFT-LCD screen comes with mobile phone mirroring capability.
Braking is done in front with J Juan
radial-mount four-piston brake callipers with brake discs front and rear.
Two-channel ABS is standard equipment while the riding suite includes traction
control, tyre pressure monitoring and LED lighting all-round.
