"Full access highway" 2018 LIKE150i

[Stig / Major Tom]

Reading the USA promo specs for the new LIKE150i -- I noted these things:
The new LIKE150i is for use on "full acces highways" , implying that they do not recommend riding on limited access highways, "freeways, interstates", etc. Good!
The new scoot has underseat lighting; a USB port.  Good.
It has an automatic retractable side stand. Not so good...IMO, a lot of scoots will be tipped over if lightly bumped. Scoot owners with this type of side stand frequently disable the auto fold feature.

I think Kymco have a winner with this new ABS, 150i, restyled LIKE !!
EFI, twin discs, LEDs, new more poweful engine, ABS, air temp, volt meter, air cooled, twin shocks, low price.

Now they need to put this package on a big wheel version for N. America !

"Limited access highways" legally require a minimum speed of 40mph at all times.
But, you'd be crazy to use a vehicle that can't reach the posted speed limit.
And you'd have to be batsh** loco to do that in Connecticut, where people give you nasty looks if you do the speed limit in the center lane, and think that you shouldn't be on the road, and do their best to inform you of their opinion, however wrong it may be, in their anger.

Here in Tn. your bike must be of 250cc displacement or greater to be legal on the freeways and interstate hwys. which have anywhere from 55 mph to 70 mph speed limits. My DT 300i is pretty much full bore around 80, maybe a tad over. If I need to use the super slab, I jump on and flow with the traffic
