Hello everyone I’m going to look at a Kymco People with 3700 miles on it ?
So it will be a bike that may or may not stay in my garage ,it looks clean and is priced at $2600 for a 22 so I don’t think I will loose anything if I don’t like it . Who has experience with the newer peoples models ?

I just traded my '21 X-Town 300i ABS in for a '23 People S 150i ABS. The reason being that I'm 80 years old and needed a smaller scooter with less weight. I've had my S 150 since March and have put 550 miles on it so far. I am extremely happy with it. It is 100 lbs. lighter than my previous scooter and handles like a bicycle. The GPS verified top end so far is just about 60mph (This scooter has the tall factory windscreen, and I weigh 210lbs.). I don't know about mpg, but advertised is about 83. I do wish the 1.6-gallon gas tank was bigger. This is my 4th Kymco scooter since selling my Harley in 2010. I think they make a great scooter. For my wants and needs this People S is perfect for me. If you have any more specific questions, feel free to ask.

I have had my 2022 for a year and it has been terrific for me. I am coming from a 50cc so i am impressed by about everything though. I agree with this guy's review for the most part, both positive and negatives.

The reviewer didn't like the tall windshield, but I have liked having it. It doesn't block my view.

That's a nice video on the People. It mentions the clear plastic hand guards. This feature is not on the American version of the People. If anyone else is interested I found this source to purchase them.

Time for my review on my new 2023 People 150 my son and I traded back and forth between my 2022 Honda ADV150 .
The bikes compare well against each other both are spectacular bikes for what they are small easy to use motorbikes .
First was the drag race hands down the Honda has the win there ,the brake on the other hand the People whoops the Honda . So my thinking is I can improve my take off and engine performance but not so easy with the brakes . For handling they are just different the ADV seems more stable but quicker turning than the People. The people is nicer for my tall skinny fit I like an upright position, that makes me feel more like a road bike than the ADV . Also I like the flat floor better my big feet fit on the bike better . In the looks department I think the ADV with the bar’s exposed and 2 headlights and the accessories added on it looks better
My next ride was on my KTM 390 Adventure and my son’s Honda NC750 and I’ll tell you one thing the scooters are definitely more fun !

I would post some pictures but my files are to large on this site .

Try some lighter rollers or sliders and let me know the difference. I'm going to install Dr. Pulley sliders in mine but will wait until I tear it down to determine what weight I want. I've had good luck with previous Kymcos going 1 to 1 1/2 gram lighter.

How soon do you think you’ll find out the weight ? I like doing easy inexpensive stuff it’s the bigger more $ stuff that I think about.

Super DD...if your files are too big you can post the way I do...open my pic on laptop, use 'snipping tool' to outline and copy the pic, save it to your folder and it magically goes from 1.5 MB file to a much smaller one that is acceptable to post here.

Probably about a month. I want to put about 1000 miles before I do it. I'll change the oil and differential over to full synthetic while it's down waiting parts.
Tear yours down. It's probably only about a 1/2-hour job. Then you'll know for sure what weight YOUR scooter has in it. The only bummer is waiting for the new sliders to get here.
