Znen Jog

Znen Jog overview:

During the recent pandemic, people have become more prone to using personal transport over public transport. Due to this, more and more people are opting for two-wheelers, as they are more compact and more wallet-friendly. As a lot of people are not accustomed to two-wheelers, they are opting for scooters. Scooters such as the Znen Jog (100cc) have become very much popular due to their pricing, quality, and simplicity.

Znen is a Chinese two-wheeler company, which has been operating since 1996. Znen is mostly popular for its commuting scooters and maxi scooters. They make very durable, stylish, and affordable scooters. They have revolutionized the Bangladeshi scooter market with their stylish maxi-scooters and commuting scooters. The Znen Jog is a 100cc sports commuting scooter.

Key Features:

The Znen Jog is a sporty 100cc commuting scooter that comes with a long single seat setup, which gives both the rider and the pillion enough space to sit comfortably. Although the scooter is quite compact which allows it to squeeze through traffic. As this is a commuting scooter and not a touring scooter, it was made very compact, which means the storage capacity is also quite small. However, space is enough to carry a half helmet and more.

The Znen Jog comes in four different colors. The colors are:

1. Red.
2. Black.
3. Blue.
4. Pink.

The first three colors come with no decals, whereas the pink comes with purple floral decals. But the brandings are very visible in all the four colors.

The Znen Jog also comes with a stock security alarm and lock system. The security alarm is a proximity alarm system, which goes off if the scooter is touched or is subjected to unwanted moving. The alarm system is also made in such a way that the alarm system gets activated as soon as the remote is a certain distance away from the scooter. The scooter also has a key lock, which prevents the scooter from being started without its original keys.

Physical Attributes:

As previously mentioned, the Znen JOG comes with a compact body, which is intended to squeeze through the hectic city traffic. The scooter comes with a weight of 85kg, which is quite less when it comes to commuting scooters. This scooter comes with a 5-liter fuel capacity, so basically you have to top up your fuel tank now and then.

The length, width, and height of the Znen JOG are 1825mm, 680mm, and 1145mm. It also has a low saddle-height; however, the saddle is quite wide, which may cause problems for riders under 5’3” in the heavy traffic. The scooter also has a very low ground clearance of 125mm, which is highly unsuitable for Bangladesh, especially with a pillion.

Engine and Transmission:

The Znen JOG comes with a single-cylinder, 4-stroke, and 100cc engine. The engine is air-cooled. The scooter comes with only an electrical self-start mechanism and no kick-start. The engine provides 7.24BHP of power at 7500rpm and 8.4Nm of torque at 5500rpm. The scooter may not be the best when it comes to fuel efficiency but is expected to have an average mileage of around 40-45kmpl.

The Znen JOG comes with a fully automatic transmission system. There is no gear shifting involved while riding this scooter. Although the scooter is expected to be very smooth with its acceleration on the road. The scooter can reach a top speed of 110kmp (company claim).

Brakes, Suspensions, and Wheels:

The Znen JOG comes with a disc-drum setup. The front wheel has a single disc, which increases the braking efficiency significantly. It comes with a drum brake at the rear wheel, which is quite common when it comes to scooters. If it had a rear disc as well, the braking of the scooter would have been at the top among scooters of this section.

The Znen JOG has regular telescopic forks, and spring-loaded shock at the front, and rear respectively. The front telescopic fork suspension is expected to have a decent response like most telescopic suspensions have. But since it is a scooter, the travel of the telescopic forks may not be as good as a motorcycle, and hence may the scooter might be vulnerable to potholes in the city. The rear spring-loaded “hydraulic” suspension may provide an adequate response in the city, but you shouldn’t get your hopes high.

The Znen JOG also comes with alloy wheels and tubeless tires. The front and rear tires are 3.5/10. The front is expected to perform decently on the road. The rear tire however is a whole different story, as keeping both tires of the same thickness makes two-wheelers somewhat unbalanced if they are leaning while turning.

Target Audience:

The Znen JOG is a very forgiving commuting scooter. It is not very overwhelming for beginners. This scooter is intended for beginners and intermediate riders to ride around the urban jungle. The Znen JOG will also attract many youths of Bangladesh, due to its design and features and the fact that it is very much unisex.

The Znen JOG is a well built and well-designed commuting scooter. It has more pros than the cons. It is also a very suitable scooter for beginners to learn on. The Znen JOG ticks most of the boxes for most people looking for a good and simple scooter.
