The electronic management of the injection carried out by Bosch with double map (Eco and Sport), takes the single-cylinder of the M350 up to 36.71 CV at 7,500 rpm, while the torque reaches 38 Nm at 6,000 rpm. A power that can rival the 400 cc engines that equip current scooters. Regarding the transmission, Zontes has used a new variator that substantially expands the range of speeds together with a final transmission with a development in line with the new engine.

The chassis has also been strengthened to accommodate the higher power of the engine. It grows in dimensions compared to the M310 with an increase of 15 mm in its wheelbase (now 1,405 mm), and adopts a fork with 41 mm bars at the front, double triple clamp, J.

As a novelty, it now receives the "Screen Mirroring" function that allows the dump of the mobile screen (horizontally or vertically) without losing the information on board. Thus, it is possible to use any mobile App and specific browsers.

Another common feature with the rest of the “M” series models is the height-adjustable windshield that is activated from the left pineapple. There is the possibility of choosing between the same high and transparent windshield of the M310, and the "cut" one in black that premiered the 125 cc version and that enhances its sporty character, both being standard.

Optionally it is prepared to adopt heated grips with control on the right pineapple or hand protectors to protect them from the cold.
