New addition to the Kymco family
« on: February 10, 2021, 05:57:59 AM »
Hey, y'all.

I was looking at Kymco USA and came across this new scoot:

Not exactly what I'd want, but good to see Kymco is bringing out new stuff.

Nuff said.

Many folks new to scooters might see that price to be several hundreds more than the Internet 150's, also from China, parked nearby.
And, a 49cc 4-stroke, is going to be dangerously underpowered if it ever ventures off the college campus.
My local scooter dealers won't display a 4-stroke 50. They will order one, if asked.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

I know many areas don't do well with the 50cc machines but here in Iowa City (Big Ten college town) the majority of scoots are 50cc. I'm sure it's because they are marketed to the students and they don't require a motorcycle license to operate.

Hence the 2 stroke 50 cc turned into a 70 cc on my wife's Vitality!

I'm kind of scratching my head over Kymco's latest offering, the A Town.
