Best in winter=proper riding suit!!  Aerostich ( one and two piece) have worked well for me for the past 30 years.   Each suit lasts about 100,000 miles.   Worn out they still bring good money from idiots who want to look like they ride a lot.

Lap robes may make getting feet out quickly in real slippery conditions!
OMG They cost $1200 or more! $1400 was the one on their site.
I expect in suit heating for that price.
Well I do have a powerball ticket so we shall see.

I do own a 1 piece suit however true comfort on a 4 lane or in the chill of back roads farmland is still an issue.
If I were to ride from here to Idaho in winter I sure want to be comfortable hour after hour.
It looks like the Myroad has accessories! 

Muffs!

Most dealers in the Peoples Replublic of CA. , add a dealer mark up.  Find a way to negotiate your way out of it, if they are doing that in your area.
Buy and older (new) scooter and save $$$$
2019's are like $1500 less than 2020

Nothing funny about a short stop/ Always know where your exit is so you can go there if someone ahead short stops on you.

However here is a believe it or not short stop.

Riding in winter (California) can be hard because an hour on the freeway can lower my core temperature. Too much of that and I get sick.
I see a leg cover. Has anyone used "leg covers?"

I applaud your plan! I offer moral support as I am on the Left Coast.
I too am planning trips.
Share pictures for sure.

General Discussion / Re: Do you feel are gas powered scooters will become obsolete?

A hybrid would be cool. Small gas generator and electric bike/scooter.
If you are going to go a long distance let the generator extend the range.
If this is a Maxi Scooter then the generator could run independent to recharge while rider(s) take a stop.
I could see something as large as the Myroad 7001 being electric and hybrid.
We get a 150 ish mile range now on the 700i .If the hybrid can make it 300 miles well I would be ready to get off that seat a couple of hours for recharging and some refreshments.

There is a greater mindset being defended. Entitlement.
 For most people in the world the Scooter is the work-horse. In the USA we are privileged.
My hat is off in salute to all the scooter people of the world be they white, black, brown or yellow!

Definitely a case of great mystery!
There is a owners manual so why not a service manual.

How queer!

Why is a service manual for your 300ri such a pain?
The best I could find is this page http://conteudo.fitnessbrasil.com.br/Kymco_Xciting_500_300_250_Ri_Service_Manual_Printed_By_Cyclepedia.pdf
Not that you can get a copy there.

Maybe the 300 is included in the 500 ?
