Big Guy Scooter Help

[Ryokanfan]

Hello guys. Just joined this forum, looks to be a very cool place to be with many nice folks here. Well after much researching online I will be buying a Kycmo scooter soon and was wondering if any of you could offer me some advice ?

Im a fat bloke. 20 something stone. I know. So I need to know is there any Kymco scooter that can carry me ? I was looking at the Agility 125 but it seems to have a max load that is just a tiny bit under my weight. Also looking at the 125 models as Im limited by price budget.

Any help would be greatly apprieciated

See if you can get your hands on a grand dink 250, that is going to be more your weight, and still some power left over!

I'm 6'4" and weigh a good 280 lbs. and ride a People 50 2T. I am installing a Malossi Big Bore kit. I don't travel very far but I love it. I've had blast. I think it depends on how far and whether it's primary transportation. I've owned 6 scooters and the Kymco is by far the best.

I second the Grand Vista (Dink) selection. A 250cc or better scoot would be more suitable to someone of your size.

Cheers guys, I had no knowledge of the Grand Dink. 

I will look into it. Out of curiousity would being slightly over the max load damage the bike in the long term ?

I am 5' 10" and 304, I had a People 150 that I put 12,000 miles on before trading it for a 250. I really loved the 150 very agile in traffic and around town, it would go 50 to 55 without any wind or hills. The Super 8  150 would probably be a good fit for you unless you want to travel on major highways or hill climb.

I'm a fat guy. I ride a 125 no problem. I dont take it on freeways, but that's essentially illegal where I live, anyway. But I have about a 5 mile commute up some serious hills and the agility does just fine.

Cheers slug50 and ad_astra, looks like a will take a lookee at an Agility 125 and a Downtown 125 then.
