Looks like they’ve uploaded a promotional PowerPoint presentation, but some interesting facts & figures with a couple of translation howlers - competition left “beyond” Kymco? Maybe they meant “behind”?

Neil! Have you seen the video of a buncha old guys on Taiwan riding around the island nation? The link is on here somewhere. It is truly inspirational!

Interesting Neil. Thanks!

Scooters in the USA?...with our wide open spaces, and the scooter image. If they weren't sold at motorcycle dealers - a Kymco dealer would not stay above water in 98% of America.
Well, we are an aging population - and old farts, a little less vain population, buy most of the scooters in this country - so maybe?

Can you imagine a Kymco accessories store??!

Too bad that history presentation isn't somewhere NOT on FB. I don't get on FB. But I have read the history from the 1950's to current from other sources. That history is one of the factors influencing my decision to buy a Kymco.

I'm on the edge of the sticks so my local dealer stocks the full line, but as you get further out, no scooters, only atv's & SxSs  or you can spend $2500 more for the Arctic Cat badged Kymco, but still can't compete with Polaris & the Japanese 4.
