New entry into the Malaysia kapchai market is the 2019 WMoto Cub Classic, priced at RM4,588 without road tax, insurance or registration. Distributed by MForce Bike Holdings, the Cub Classic is a take on the classic step-through cub, but with modern conveniences.
Powered by a single-cylinder, air-cooled, SOHC engine displacing 109.22 mated to a four-speed rotary gearbox, the Cub Classic produces some 6.4 hp at 7,500 rpm and 8 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm. Fuelling for the Cub Classic is indeed classic, using a carburettor but Wmoto claims the engine is Euro 3 compliant.
Although designed in the traditional kapchai manner, the Cub Classic does come with modern equipment such as LED lighting throughout, USB socket for charging electronics and instrument panel with coloured lighting. Suspension is with upside-down forks in front and twin shock absorbers in the back, adjustable for preload, along with electric starting although a kickstarter is fitted.
Another convenience for the rider is a parcel rack on the front mudguard, a hook and small cargo basket below the handlebars. A special feature of the Cub Classic that will make it attractive to small businesses is the rear seat can be easily removed, exposing a cargo rack for carrying goods.
Rolling on 17-inch wheels, the Cub Classic weighs in at 100 kg, with fuel carried in a 4-litre tank under the rider seat. The 2019 WMoto Cub Classic comes in three colours – matte red, matte green and matte black – and a two-year or 20,000 km manufacturing warranty is standard.

Nice and affordable…not suitable for mat rempit…
Too old skool & underpowered for rempits.
Mat Rempit problem is still a big problem in Malaysia. This is due to very big families of 6 to 12 children each that parents are unable to monitor and guide.
You are right though, this is not suitable for Rempitting.
Well it looks so much like the Demak Eco 110, that was sold for RM3,700. It is too expenaive for something generic assembled from anoymous chinese parts. And many would prefer something that looks really classic like the Demak DX90 or the Lifan Vintage in Thailand. But why MForce need to create another new brand for this? It already has SYM, SM Sport, Keeway, Benelli, Brixton and now WMoto? BTW is it something too much to ask for if Honda can do the latest Super Cub thailand variant for malaysia? It is just an EX5 110 with some different plastics. For the same price as the Wmoto it will surely sell.
It is just a rebadged Demak that itself was a rebadged made in China cheap motorcycle…..
what’s the top speed for this moped?
