Agility 50 / Speeds on Agility 50
« on: November 24, 2013, 07:45:50 AM »
Today my husband purchased a Kymko Agility 50 for our son. We got a great deal on a 2009 with 942 miles! It had not had the 300 mile oil change, however,  and had been sitting up for two years in a garage and would start but not stay on. We took it a kymko dealer who inspected, did the oil change and service, replaced the carb. and made sure all else was good. They did say that at 900 miles the engine wasn't really broken in yet and it would take until 1,200 - 1,500 to be broken in. We were so elated to have gotten such a great deal and can't wait to take it to our son in college. However, when my husband rode it back he could only reach a top speed of 30 mph. He is 6'8" and weighs 290 so I thought perhaps he was on the high end of the weight limit. However, looking in the manual it says max weight is 500 plus pounds. My question is whether the scooter not reaching 40-45 mph is due to my husband's weight or perhaps the motor isn't fully broken in yet...or other reason???? I am concerned that in traffic our son will need to reach 40-45 to keep from getting run over even in the city. Our son weighs about 190 pounds. Should I be concerned there is another problem? Please share your insights. Thanks.
